Yeah, I was wondering why people were hitting this problem, the 
predictable interface names have been in eudev as well for a 
considerable while. I had them disabled with the same net.ifnames=0 that 
others are mentioning now to get the old names (mainly since they're 
just easier to remember). I was maybe thinking that there could be a 
configuration option for it that didn't get changed on existing installs 
when this was initially introduced in eudev, which would have explained 
it since my installs aren't that old. But if it automatically used the 
new names for you then I have no idea either. Nothing should have 
changed in this regard with this update as far as I can tell...
