Update to 8.2 changes the names of the network interface

After reading the issues with network interfaces changing on the upgrade to 8.2 I went through the 7 nodes I upgraded yesterday and used the instructions HERE to override the device names to eth# and each name is associated to the interface's MAC address which is a consistent value. It also helps when and if I were to add an interface into those system as they would be named something other than eth#. In all it probably took me about 3 minutes a machine to get that modified before doing the update and had no issues during or after the updates to those 7 nodes. I still have 7 more to go but that will be a next week task for me.
Thanks, this information save my life.
