Commit 37bd8e8... sets the configuration in 99-default.link to include mac-based "predictable" names. I think we should decide on a default and let people who don't like it put a modified version of 99-default.link under /etc/system/network. The impetus to allow mac based names is that some bsp's don't produce anything else, but that makes the default different than the upstream version. Everyone will not want the provided 99-default.link, so we just need to decide who we cater to. Joe
