When was it predictable?  Even in the 2.4 era, we'd get one chassis
barebones from a vender like supermicro and the nic order would be one
way, then next month we'd order the same chassis barebones and the nics
would be picked up in a different order.  Even more fun is when they'd
change with a kernel update, so that the kernel we installed with had
one order, and the kernel we updated to and rebooted to had it in a
different order.
