Hello
I am planing to do a new release[#1] this weekend. Since we are using dhcpcd.service (dhcp for all net-if) and is racy, sometimes net-if rename work and others no. So I think can be a good idea to not rename at all.
Opinions?
Thanks.

I tend to think this will make for a lousy user experience given that interface names will potentially change on the first boot of the newly installed system. Not really in favor of this.
Proposal: stop using dhcpcd.service, replace with a udev rule that launches instances of dhcpcd@.service for network devices as they appear:
# /etc/udev/rules.d/81-dhcpcd.rules ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="net", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="dhcpcd@
$env{INTERFACE}.service"
This potentially breaks ordering for units on network.target, but we've never been able to guarantee that anyways using dhcpcd.service.
This seems like the correct approach to me. Cheers, Tom
