Not always, true - but if you _have_ to pick an identifying feature and you
for some reason don't want to use the order in which they're detected by the
kernel, then it's not a bad second option.
Yes, someone will probably be able to find a box which both inits its
ethernet cards in a nondeterministic order and doesn't have unique MAC
addresses, but sorting on MAC would be sufficient for a lot of people, and
as it can be done in userspace, why not?
