Well, that's assuming hardware that has a permanent MAC address. What
does it do for virtual or cheap hardware that gets a different locally-
assigned address at each boot or hotplug?
In most situations, the default behavior (starting a DHCP connection
when the first adapter is plugged on) is what you want.
When you use manual configuration, the daemon’s default is to write
MAC-based configuration files, but you can change them to remove the
802-3-ethernet/mac-address setting and use connection/interface-name
instead.
