Hi Colin, AFAIK, it's still there, perhaps renamed?

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules

As Arch has recommended using your custom names, for several years already, as udev rules, I just have kept using my own:

/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link-persistent.rules

And I didn't find a problem with Artix migration from eudev, to the systemd udev, which is what recently happened...  It was really transparent to me, and I do use really custom names, hehe
