I suspect that the hard part of this is installer changes, especially
since the scripts and applications that break as a result of using
biosdevname are probably not too distro-specific.
No, the necessary installer changes are small and easily handled. It's
the knock-on effects on the rest of the distribution that will take
time.
Correct, and the bits that'd break are very distro-specific, think
upstart jobs, udev rules and scripts included in packages like
ifenslave-2.6, bridge-utils, vlan, ifupdown.
All of these either come from Debian or are completely Ubuntu specific,
as far as I know, none of these directly come from upstream, so it's
unlikely that anything that was fixed for Fedora can be applied as-is to
Ubuntu.
