udev recently hit v197, and with it a system that changes the way
network devices are detected and assigned symlinks. Instead of eth0,
eth1, etc. and wlan0, wlan1, etc, it uses strange names for devices. [1]

As a user who switched to Gentoo to avoid the systemd cancer, I'm
concerned about what eudev's position is on this change. Is it a change
that will be pursued, a mere opt-in option, or will this not ever appear?

Personally I see little reason to adopt this. It'd be best to not have
it at all, but if it's going to be in eudev, it'd probably be best to
make it opt-in instead of udev's opt-out.

So what's the verdict?
