I tend to not listen much to people who tell me to do stuff without stating any reasons. If you want me to change, and you're not in a position to give me orders, then you need to explain why the thing I'm doing is bad.For MAC based name assignment you can use the ifcfg-* files with HWADDR="<MAC>".Are you saying that HWADDR is a selection? It's described in /usr/share/doc/initscripts/sysconfig.txt as "ethernet hardware address for this device". That sounds like an assignment to me, assigning a new MAC address to the interface. If it would say "of" instead of "for", then I would understand it as a selection. I'll admit though, that if HWADDR is a selection, then it's easier to understand why both HWADDR and MACADDR exist
"HWADDR=" is the phyiscal address
"MACADDR=" is for changing it, known as "clone MAC" on routers
