Personly I think that devices shouldn't be "numbered".  What is the
point of knowing that this is the "nth" ethernet device?

In other words "eth23" is no more or less stupid than "net17.23" and
encodes less information.  Maybe useless information, but I hate
discarding it before you know whether you need it.
