Hi Javier,

It is only *default* ruleset and behaviour which was changed by this 
upgrade. As you say, implementing your own custom naming scheme is, of 
course, a perfectly reasonable option and a personal choice.

For the record though, both the names and the contents of the *default* 
rules were changed with the result that systemd-style persistent names 
no longer get generated and the kernel command line parameter 
net.ifnames is ignored.

Previously:-

# ls /.snapshots/2857/snapshot/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80*

/.snapshots/2857/snapshot/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules
/.snapshots/2857/snapshot/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-libinput-device-groups.rules
/.snapshots/2857/snapshot/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules
/.snapshots/2857/snapshot/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks2.rules

After upgrading:-

# ls /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80*

/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-libinput-device-groups.rules
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-net-setup-link.rules
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/80-udisks2.rules
