..we need to sell either vdev or eudev or some such non-systemd
udev upstream to Linus and the kernel guys and get them happy
about kicking out systemd-udev from the kernel code base.

[OT] I would prefer Mdev if the issue with X11 could be solved :-) Mdev is so simpler than Udev, Eudev and Vdev.

Let's forget Systemd and their "solutions". Interface renaming was introduced by the original Udev. According to Adam, it races with kernel's device discovery and the only solution is apparently to use a namespace different of the one of the kernel.

Note that a similar problem with disks has been solved elegantly by referencing disks by their uuid or label in /etc/fstab. Maybe /etc/network/interface could specify the MAC address as a hook. This would only suppose that the hotplugger creates a symlink to the interface in some /dev/net/by-address/ subdirectory. With this solution, it is up to the admin to decide if s?he wants a simple configuration based on interface name (eth0) or a secured one alla "Address=a0:d3:c1:9d:a5:86".
