Apparently you should also create your own 70-my-net-names.rules - but I've heard many people claim they used ethX names instead of netX names, so... again... should I just rename my file to 70-my-net-names.rules and leave the contents alone? Still confused/concerned about the differences in my current rules (items in mine that aren't in the examples)...
