The thing is, it wasn't really an issue until I added the possibility of 
giving your network interface any name you like.

Previously we had intf0, intf1, ..., intfN, and you could just configure 
your networking information in the order of your physical devices. The 
booting interface is sorted by the IPAPPEND option in syslinux and there 
you go.
Now we can have an interface foo, bar, mgmt, internet, mylan0, mylan0, 
but these are now processed alphabetically (right?). So this would only 
work correctly if my system's first interface is actually connected to 
network "bar", hence the need to match a mac-address to a physical 
interface in the %pre-section of the kickstart and use that information 
to configure networking in anaconda. Of course we'd only want to do this 
if the interfaces aren't called ethX in Cobbler.
