13 Might I recommend at least a little bit of context before going right
14 into "you have to remove these rules"? IE - if a user wants to keep
15 the old mac-based rules they already have, can't they? 80-*.rules
16 doesn't override that now, does it?

18 I'd recommend:

20 "As of version 197, udev now provides predictable interface renaming
21 based directly on [hardware addresses and whatever other info]. The
22 old MAC-based relabelling in prior udev versions has been removed, and
23 it is highly recommended to migrate to the new version."
