In network scripit, defualt bridge name replace from xen-br0 to xenbr0 (removed - (hyphen) ). Why rename default bridge name?

This may help you to understand why this happens. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2005-10/msg00953.html

These types of changes would be must less painful if the hg summary had some mention of it :-)

It did.

Plus Kurt's avoid-dash patch:

the network setup scripts on SUSE have trouble with the bridge name xen-br0; they don't expect the '-'. Arguably this should be fixed. But I assume there's more scripts out there which may not like it, so I suggest the following patch to rename xen-br0 to xenbr0.
