Comment 3 for bug 1574771

Thanks for the link Andres! I've added a comment about how that affects Juju and the bridges we create.

There are ways to to get shorter names - net.ifnames=0 is one option, comissioning with trusty by default also works. As far as Juju is concerned, we can detect such cases and use the MAAS API to rename long interfaces between node acquisition and deployment.

It's a real pity in 2016 the Linux kernel still has such ridiculous limits on network device names.
