The great thing about standards is there are so many of them! CoreOS uses systemd's naming scheme which is very close to biosdevname's scheme but not quite: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/
So we can be compatible with distros using the older biosdevname or newer systemd but not both, And considering RHEL has switched from biosdevname to systemd as the default scheme (though biosdevname can be installed and used) I think it is safe to say biosdevname is pretty solidly deprecated at this point. Literally every time network configuration comes up I curse the fact that the designers of the networking API didn't use device nodes to represent network interfaces, making it impossible to alias devices with simple symlinks like we can for everything else.
