Actually, an interface name with '#' in it? That's a nice stressing for various scripts around. Not everybody uses NetworkManager.
And consider the nice things that happen when you copy over your config to a new system that has the network adapter plugged elsewhere.
So yes, this does break some existing use cases. It better be worth it.

The new system won't have the same MAC addresses, and hence you get some random ethX numbers which don't reflect the config.
