Why should I? |

Kernel behaviour is traditionally way more stable than udev behaviour. If my |
| 9 |
driver for my only one network card has always produced eth0 as device name, |
| 10 |
chances are good it will do so still in a few years, after re-shuffling the |
| 11 |
cards in my casing, and even after exchanging the whole motherboard. |

Whereas with udev I can probably expect random things at random times for each |
| 14 |
of these events. |

Also, should I have problems with a new kernel, I can always just boot back |
| 17 |
into an old one without much ado. |
