What would be the "symlink way"?

Will predictable network names still play nice with the old udev way?
I cannot make my brain remember that my notebook has enp0s25 and
wlp3s0, and would like to have eth0 and wlan0 again (or net0 and net1,
or wired0 and wless0, if it is a bad idea to move the interfaces back
to the kernel namespaces), while keeping the advantage of having
predictable network names for USB network interfaces that I regularly
plug in as well.

Will placing a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-network.rules
that renames enp0s25 to wired0 and wlp3s0 to wless0 play nice, it is
that asking for trouble?

Greetings
Marc
