Yes.  I found it rather confusing.

It refers to a "new format" for rules, but the examples use the exact
same format as the old rules.

It talks about how 80-net-name-slot.rules needs to be either an empty
file or a synmlink to /dev/null if you want to disable the new naming
scheme -- but that doesn't seem to be right.  After the upgrade my
80-net-name-slot.rules file was neither an empty file nor a symlink to
/dev/null, but I'm still getting the same old names.

The only explanation I found was "the old way is now deprecated".
