This makes them pretty comparable to LABELs on disks, and we have a /dev/disk/by-label Remember that udev already supports symlink stacking, and priorities and such. I don't think there's any danger of supporting a /dev/netdev/by-mac by default, it'll be a benefit to most and those who don't have unique MACs will just ignore it.
