You have that backwards. We made the new interface naming opt in to keep
the old behaviour, simply because we didn't want to deal with that
transition at this time.
The log message is not by "us guys", but, as I explained, the result of
upstream using a different default value, and because of that, udevd
warning about this fact.

Now, I don't get this log message every second as you say. But only
during boot when the network interfaces are detected. In my case 3
interfaces, so 3 log messages during boot and that's about it.
