For someone who has been using Debian for many years the position you
expound is understandable and viable to support. Someone who is used to
eth0 and wlan0 for interface names is bound to sit up and take notice
when they change to something which is strange and doesn't exactly stick
in the memory.

But remember new users; does it really matter to them? They have no
personal history to point to. As you point out, the engineering
advantages are unarguable. And after all, there are three options which
can be employed to get something you are not given. That's not bad as
things go.
