Were you aware that RHEL 7 now uses "Consistent Network Device Naming" (http://goo.gl/Z0ydDF) in more situations? It was optional in RHEL 6 (http://goo.gl/TiuTP9) but is all but enforced in RHEL 7.

Everyone, drop a tear for the dead "eth0". <sniff> We will miss you, eth0!

Haven't played much with it in CentOS. In Fedora, at present, it is a bit of pain as both biosdevname and systemd have something to do with it, making it less consistent than ever.

So, to remove it, one has to both run rpm -e biosdevname and add to /etc/deafaults/grub kernel line net.ifnames=0.
