No, you are stilling misunderstanding. The news item goes to great
lengths to explain that there is a new way and it is different from the
old way.
Jarry mentioned an EMPTY file, not an absent file. The ebuild does not
install an empty file, so it is not the default.
Well, believe me or not, but I had "empty" (only comments) file
/etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules :
------
# Udev 197 and above has implemented predictable network interface names
...
# To activate this function, move this file to a name that doesn't end
# in .rules, or remove it then reboot your system
------
And I am pretty sure I did not create it manually, so it must have
come previously with some stable package, maybe udev197 (it has
25-Jan-2013 time-stamp).
So yes, I had to "activate" new interface names manually by
renaming the above mentioned file...
