First of all, I'm not a systemd dev. Nor want to be. Secondly, I believe
you didn't really understood my proposition. You are talking about
userspace *after* initramfs and *after* systemd is initialized and
renamed (or not) any interface. Of course systemd should *never* mess
with an interface *after* system initialization. But it can do anything
*right after* the initramfs hand the control to systemd. Of course
except if the interface is up for a nfsroot. In this case the renaming
shouldn't happen. But this is an exception.
