I don't have enough time to go through the rest of this thread, but if
the first sentence hasn't been adjusted yet:

Might I recommend at least a little bit of context before going right
into "you have to remove these rules"?  IE - if a user wants to keep
the old mac-based rules they already have, can't they?  80-*.rules
doesn't override that now, does it?

I'd recommend:

"As of version 197, udev now provides predictable interface renaming
based directly on [hardware addresses and whatever other info].  The
old MAC-based relabelling in prior udev versions has been removed, and
it is highly recommended to migrate to the new version."

...as the first paragraph.  Then follow with the rest.  Friendly?
