They are trying to make sure that ethernet ports are predictably labeled. This means they want to look at the back of the hardware and identify eth0 without the use of software. Most devices are assigned labels in linux as they are found and the order in which they are found is often different from how they are arranged on the computer. There are also situations in which the order can change after a reboot which throws a wrench into everything.
