Still, it would be nice if there was a way to see which rules were hit, when and why. And if possible, similar tool for .link files. As it is now, I had to enter custom udev rules to rename my nics. Name="xyz" settings in link file wouldn't do it for me and I don't remember being able to get any clue on the reason from systemd-udevd. I'm sure there are plenty of cases where this could come very handy.
