but hopefully /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules will be recognized
forever if it exists because there are many servers especially virtual
ones where you hardly need to control ethernet device names to avoid
breaking iptables-scripts as example

keep in mind there are MANY setups which do not need nor want
biosdevname and are bootet with biosdevname=0 on the kernel line

P.S.: i HATE it to need "ifconfig -a" and hack "70-persistent-net.rules"
by hand instead as all the years open it and change back the last line
to "eth0" after probe-restore of a virtual machine to temporary access
a datarecovery backup from some weeks ago
