True. Conversely, it also makes sense to have each interface have a
unique name as well, eg foo-eth0, foo-eth1, etc. There are often cases
where it's very useful to be able to reference a specific interface
directly -- to force specific network paths, or to do traffic isolation.
It's also really handy when defining HA groups or VIPAs.
