Title:
  udev does not read LINK files dynamically

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hello all,

  To comply to SystemD's way of thinking, NIC names can be changed
  assuming my MAC addresses.

  I have then changed /etc/systemd/10-net.link assuming the nomenclature
  in https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.link.html.

  Expected behavior: When restart, changes can be taken into account and
  NIC names changed, just like udev udev raw rules in /etc/udev/rules.d.

  Got: NIC names not changed. However: whane re-updating initramfs ( #
  update-initramfs -u ), it works.

  Question: why is udev not reading SystemD link files directly in the
  root FS, but is able to read udev rules.d files ?

  Distro : Ubuntu 16.04.4

  Thanks,
