I think I can speak for most if not all developers active behind
Devuan right now that this is also terribly bad for all of us. Devuan
should do everything possible so that devices do not change names
arbitrarily and in any case without the consent of administrators.

While the report starting this thread is not yet verified (and hard to
replicate due to lack of information) we do have a currently known and
bad condition in Devuan: if the network device will change on the same
installation, its suffix number will be increased (wlan0 -> wlan1 ->
wlan2) I think this is also terrible especially on systems that have a
single network device which has been simply substituted. I wonder if
anyone has more insights about this.


ciao
