Comment 5 for bug 1423626

Blake, yes that's correct - having stable names based on udev rules, especially discoverable via the API will be the proper way to fix this for MAAS. The solution proposed in comment #1 could potentially work for any provider, but relying on networking features (discovery, configuration, even connectivity) during boot is racy and unreliable with current cloud-init support (2.0 will hopefully solve this).
