Systemd predictable network interface names are awesome.

Not only I get easy to remember names like enp2s0f0u7u3c2 but I _also_ get to experience a machine not coming back up after reboot because a new (non-NIC!) PCIe card caused existing names to shuffle around.

@wolf480pl ... if only there was a universally present, globally unique identifier that could be used to track network devices across bus swaps!
