From another point of view one could argue, that your device had
already been unstable... why else would you have had to repair it?

In this case, the modification of your "persistent-net-rules" file
could be seen as (the most easy) part of a successful fix.

Formerly you could put a hard disc with a Linux system in some similar pc and it would run. The linux kernel detects all hardware and the basic functionality was given without any modifications (including networking, which is basic, because without network you cannot install additional packages).

But nowadays Linux becomes more and more Windows-like. On EFI-systems it does not boot because EFI needs to know where to find the boot loader. And network is not available because sytemd'ish networking changes network devices. A systemd Linux becomes more and more like a windows system. And this is why we are here at Devuan!
