At least I would have read it :).
So if I want to keep the old behaviour, I should override this and
replace
NamePolicy=keep kernel
By something like
NamePolicy=path keep kernel
But then I will also need to launch iwd with "--nointerfaces" in order
for it to ignore the not yet renamed interfaces.
It looks to me like it's a bit too much to do in order to use the
predictable naming scheme.
Anyway thank you very much!
