--- Comment #3 from Poul-Henning Kamp <phk at FreeBSD.org> ---
I don't think this has anything to do with the UNR(9) code, it seems to be only
a matter of how interface names are managed.

I have always assumed myself that naming an interface was an aliasing operation
and that the interface retained its underlying "system-given" name - if nothing
else in the sense that dev_printf() would still emit that name on the console.

Apart from those observations I have nothing further to add, and will take
myself of the cc list.
