I guess you were lucky in the past. My experience was that interface
names were unstable in the "eth0" days. After an upgrade eth0 and eth1
could suddenly swap names with each other, and adding or removing a
network card could trigger a renaming of other network cards that had
not been touched. Network interface names have always been unreliable,
and apparently they're still unreliable, unless you have configured
your own names and ensured that your configuration overrides anything
else that tries to rename interfaces.
