what, if not ifIndex, should be a reasonable index for Interfaces?
Neither ifName nor interface descriptions possibly stored in vendor
specific MIBs are suitable values for constant reference.

It is the ifIndex by design. Its main purpose IS referencing interfaces,
and a simple update of the OS must not change them. I consider this as
broken, like Tore does.
