Could someone point me to the commit that removed support for assigning

Alternately, can someone suggest a way to get equivalent behaviour (the
ability to set "ethX" names based on MAC address) using the current
infrastructure? (Preferably as of RHEL 7, so systemd 219 plus a bunch of
patches.)

it was not removed - boot with "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"

just use network.service on RHEL7 as all the time before and enter the MAC in
the ifcfg-file as all the time before

On https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ it says:

"For a longer time udev shipped support for assigning permanent "ethX" names to certain interfaces based on their MAC addresses. This turned out to have a multitude of problems.....As a result support for this has been removed from systemd/udev a while back."

If that is not accurate then maybe it should be updated.
