Sometimes you just have to do such things.

I run a server which has as it's main purpose preparing SD card images for 
embedded PCs.  The images are made by the people who install the embedded PCs 
on-site (who wear high-visibility clothing).

Getting them to unplug USB devices during system boot isn't a viable option.  
I just have to make the system work with a SD card being sda and hard drives 
being sde and sdf if it boots with the USB device connected.

As for Ethernet device names, here are the device names I chose for one of my 
systems:
ethbl
ethbr
gethm
getht
lo
mb0

The sockets on PCI boards are bottom-left, bottom-right, middle (gig-e), and 
top (gig-e).  The motherboard has a single socket.  Udev naming worked for me 
and didn't need any special configuration.  Now I use files in /etc/systemd/
network and again it works without any special configuration.
