In these cases you can disable persistent interface naming and they
will stay at eth0.

In the case where no renaming is done at all, and it JustWorks, then
you can still disable persistent interface naming and everything will
be as before.

In the case where you have rules to rename the interfaces within the
kernel namespace, you need to update the configuration (at least in
the long-term; the change has happened upstream, but don't know what
Fedora intends to do downstream).
