You do not really control it any more than the kernel. The fact that me
and you can edit an udev ruleset to "control" it, does not mean that
most users see it as a black box.

The news item reads better. I would still either avoid showing the
NET_PATH example or describe that that is not the final result because
on a laptop, NET_PATH almost certainly will *not* match the final
interface name:

flame@saladin~ % udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/eno1 2>/dev/null
ID_NET_NAME_MAC=enx0026b9d7bf1f
ID_OUI_FROM_DATABASE=Dell Inc
ID_NET_NAME_ONBOARD=eno1
ID_NET_LABEL_ONBOARD=en Onboard LAN
ID_NET_NAME_PATH=enp0s25

And I would not expect users to all go read the wiki and try to figure
out why you said it would be named enp0s25 when it gets the name eno1.
