Replying to [comment:7 mattdm]:
It's important to note that the Fedora Cloud image, we disable this
feature (ln -s /dev/null /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules), because systemd's priority is consistency of naming when there are multiple interfaces on the same system. By and large, our concern is with consistency of a *single* device name whereever the image boots, so the network interface is traditional eth0 (or eth* if more than one).
I was thinking about the fact that the slot-naming-rules could be modified so that the first NIC found was named em1, second em2, etc, but disabling the rules completely seems fine.
