So we got one vote from Aaron in favor of moving to location-based, and some further analysis from Steve (who didn't seem to like location-based much), so not a clear direction here. Which probably means to keep the status quo for 16.04 final? 16.04.1 is our next change to address that (we can't chagne the schema for upgrades anyway).
Sorry for not replying earlier, as you said none of the options are optimal and I wanted to sleep a bit on it before commenting.
On the location based option you wrote that it creates issues when you connect e.g an usb dongle to another port, but then you commented that it doesn't matter because nm handles it fine. Do we know of any case which wouldn't work for normal desktop users going through nm then? Do we have any element in our desktop stack relying on the name?
It seems from a desktop perspective there is no much difference between the options, especially if nm handles things dynamically. We don't show those names to users much (nautilus uses labels where it can and non technical users are probably not paying much attention to the names displayed e.g in the current connection info), though having the name a bit shorter than the full MAC would be nice.
In summary I think that any of the options is fine for desktop and there is no clear winner for the other usercases, so it probably makes sense to stick with what we have for the release and see what feedback we get and revisit if needed for .1.
