Okay let me re-qualify the statement:
"If my desktop only has one Ethernet interface, and I don't mess up with
it in userspace at all, no matter how many kernel changes happen, it'll
always be eth0".
Yes, the previous persistent rules for udev would have messed that one
up when e1000e got split, or if you switched between the
Broadcom-provided driver to the kernel one or vice-versa. The deathforce
drivers come in mind as well.

Sweet I didn't think about that. Yai for predictably variable names.
