then i do not understand the quoted part of the README because
the auto-generation does not work since a very long time and
so the only thing which could be removed is generally proceed
/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules which would be a
major pain because it works fine for me since forever, there
are no race-donditions in VMware guests and there are thousands
of configs/scripts rely on eth0/eth1
