Have not seen it yet (eudev), but something interesting is I am moving
to a small cloud of libvirt managed vm instances for my services and
instead of having to delete the net rules file in each instance (because
the mac address is changing) it creates a new eth0 for the new mac
address, and moved the old to eth1 - handy as I am using a base image
and spawning off a child from a snap for each instance - one less
annoyance to worry about!  Seemed to happen about the time of the last
eudev update, need to look into it more.
