Colin,

Is the concern here that there might be installer code where eth0 is hard-coded (which probably needs to be fixed, anyway) and this will cause additional churn?

As mentioned here our other OS partners have already implemented biosdevname=1 by default on Dell hardware only. Yes it did break some things in their installer (eth0 hard-coded) so it was a great opportunity to fix less-than-ideal code.

Two of my colleagues (Jordan Hargrave and Narendra K) can answer specific questions if you have any, not sure if they have Launchpad accounts but will see if I can at least cc them here.
