I disagree.

We'd be working around a real design issue in systemd, rather that possibly matching against Type=ethernet (if that existed). I think we should instead prioritize on avoiding this broken case in the other parts of the networking stack, and make sure we fix systemd to provide the right matching Type.

Nothing guarantees that vlan, bridge, and bonds are the only types of devices affected and we're second-guessing the admin otherwise: I rather we match precisely on what was added as matches in the netplan YAML, in the case where you set the MAC to the same on all of a stack because you really *did* want to apply some of the same options to all of these devices.
