Agreed.

That has absolutely nothing to do with Soviet censorship, Volkwagen starter
motors, Polish politics, and whatever else has been going on in these threads
over the past few days.

So, please keep talking about ethernet interface names - I agree that that's

default, but provide the option to use the MAC address instead as a UUID
equivalent)
