If the udev people had made "net ifnames=0" the default, and allowed |
| 14 |
the small percentage of multi-nic machine admins to set "net.ifnames=1", |
| 15 |
this would not have been an issue. Some corner case exotic setups |
| 16 |
require complex solutions... no ifs/ands/ors/buts. All the complaining |
| 17 |
you hear is from the other 99% who's setup worked just fine with the |
| 18 |
simple solution, suddenly finding the complex solution rammed down their |
| 19 |
throats. |

I.e. the 99% who don't need initramfs before today. Some corner case |
| 28 |
exotic setups require complex solutions... no ifs/ands/ors/buts. All |
| 29 |
the complaining you hear is from the other 99% who's setup worked just |
| 30 |
fine with the simple solution, suddenly finding the complex solution |
| 31 |
rammed down their throats. |
