I have found this discussion surreal, to say the least. This name change is not well documented for people who aren't already In The Know. - The 4.19 Linux Device Driver, Features, and Commands book (DDCR) refers to network devices as "enccw0.0.0.nnnn", with no discussion on how they get their names. - There is no RH 8-specific DDCR on Developerworks to contradict the base DDCR. - The RH 8 "Considerations" doc points to dracut.cmdline(7) man page regarding changes to network device names - dracut.cmdline(7) points to https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ - That web site says it is obsolete and points you to https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.net-naming-scheme.html . On that web page is a difficult-to-read reference to prefix cbus_id for CCW and grouped-CCW devices, with a note that says "any leading zeros and dots are suppressed". THAT is what defines the name "en" + "c" + <device number>. But for the old syntax to not be recognized and a "deprecated syntax" message not to be issued is a disservice to IT professionals. If the distros aren't going to have backwards compatibility, they have to do a better job to help with the migration.
