"Not at all" is going to be harder and harder to support, so we need 
something better.

If you just want everything to be called em* then you can drop in your 
VMs a /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file containing:

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth0", NAME="em0"
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth1", NAME="em1"
...
