So anyone who relies on network names right now to be deterministic, and
you have more than one network device in your system, should seriously
reconsider how they are naming their devices, as it will not work if you
only rely on the kernel.
You might have gotten "lucky" for the past 5 years, but you never know
what could happen if you reboot today. Seriously, I've seen it happen
all the time.
It has been rather nifty that if I walk up to a random machine
with exactly one NIC (that I've been asked to examine/fix), I
_know_ that there will be eth0 and only that.
OTOH, maybe it's a good idea to make admins do "ip link sh" and
"ip addr sh" every time they examine a new computer -- it goes a
long way to root out wrong assumptions in that field.

PS: Do not use ifconfig. Ever. Except if there's no iproute. And
then you should only use ifconfig to enable downloading of
iproute :)
I would actually like to see iproute2 added to the system set.
additionally (or indipendently) I would like to see it in bin instead of
sbin
