The --export option has been implemented to be shell parseable. The
bugfix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=644330 claims:

---------->8----------
Previously, the output of the command "udevadm info --query=property"
could not be used as input to shell interpreters. This update adds
"--query=property --export", which changes the output to be shell parseable.
----------8<----------

So the IMPORT{cmdline}="net.ifnames" is a kind of regression. If it is
absolutely necessary, at least should it be mitigated and restricted to
the relevant devices, and only them. No ?

Thanks,
