We need to verify that OpenRC works with the new network device names described in the tracker this bug blocks. On my system, which is a pretty simple test case with oldnet, it does. I found my new network device name, created a net.* script for it in the usual way, added it to the default runlevel, changed my /etc/conf.d/net accordingly, and rebooted successfully.
I know OpenRc is being used with the new network names, so things are working. I haven't seen any bug reports stating otherwise.
