Actually, this doesn't tell the whole story. While it is true, that upstream has deliberately removed that feature (for the reasons you mentioned, renaming network interfaces within the same namespace is racy), in the Debian udev package we decided to keep the old network interface naming scheme and make the new predictable interface names [0] explicitly opt-in [1]. So even in jessie, we still ship /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules which is responsible for creating /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules.
