That's the default behavior for systemd, so since Ubuntu moved to systemd,
that's an expected result.

By default, systemd will now name interfaces following policy:

1) if that information from the firmware is applicable and available,
falling back to 2) if that information from the firmware is applicable and
available, falling back to 3) if applicable, falling back to 5) in all
other cases. 4) is not used by default, but is available if the user
chooses so.

Off course, the distro could do a workaround, but they decided to keep the
default settings, like many other distros adopting systemd.

Cheers,

Can someone explain why Ubuntu no longer names ethernet eth0 but debian
does?
