I wouldn't know on the first one, but the important thing is that if
you have 50 identical servers they would all be the same for the same
physical location. The way 6.x works, the motherboard set and the
pair on the card will randomly flip in the initial detection. With
5.x having the MAC address in the ifcfg-ethx file was enough. With
6.x you also need a udev rule to nail the name down. These get tied
to MAC addresses in the initial install, but that makes it painful to
clone systems or restore backups into a different box.
