that would work, yes! But with the next udev update that file would be
back and if I missed that, the rule files could get created by the
next "udevadm trigger" call (from whereever). So this is a work-around, 
but not reliable, clean solution, I guess.

I also though that removing the 70-persistent-* rules on every boot
before boot.udev runs would help, but I've least one hosts that still
creates renamed network devices other than eth0 and eth1 (see my other
email on the list), so this doesn't help either.

cu,
Frank
