I didn't invent the system, and was perfectly happy when the MAC
matching was broken in early 5.x.  But if you want it to be change,
why not complain upstream where a change is possible.   As things are,
you have to edit the ifcfg-? files anyway and it's not that big a deal
to put what the system expects in there.   In fact I usually start
with the copy that already has the right MAC and add everything else.
