Suppose we have two Ethernet devices - eth0 and eth1. It cannot be ensured that eth0 will remain as eth0 and eth1 will remain as eth1 after the next system boot. The names will be allocated arbitrarily.
If You assign a ethX per MAC address everytime at boot at udev level (which is possible even now), You can be sure that naming is consistent ... but hey its Linux, lets rewrite it, shall we?
