To answer this question using my use-case;
I build HA clusters, and I want to make sure that physical port X on all nodes have the same device name. Biosdevname tries to address this, but doesn't work all the time.
Further, in my case, I've got a minimum of six interfaces in each node, paired into three bonded groups. Having the device name reflect the purpose in the node is very helpful 12~24 months down the road when I need to fix a network problem.
There *are* cogent arguments for renaming interfaces.
cheers
No argument here. I just though that it is much easier to simply pass the following options to grub --> "net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0" Then you manually edit the interface(s) name.
