I've switched to using "Property=" as follows:
# Fixed MAC and name for enp6s0 (Block Diagram) when debug board is not
plugged in
# Renamed to mvc-sw2 by PCI Address.
[Match]
Property=DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/0000:05:00.0/net/enp5s0
[Link]
MACAddress=02:00:00:00:06:00
Name=mvc-sw2
However this is also inconsistent:
