That was not true with the old persistent naming. One example which we
encountered in #gentoo IRC was the split between e1000 and e1000e drivers
which caused interfaces to change names.

It's even worse, if you mess with kernel parameters (esp. pci=assign-busses
for PCMCIA) then the device numbering might change without hardware moving
around.
