I'm planning to tackle that next. NGUID can not be in the same attribute group. It needs to be in a new namespace group instead. Right now all I got is the NGUID/EUI64. Any opinion on what to name the attribute? I was going with "id". The systemd developers didn't provide a very strong opinion, and I think they were confusing "serial" as a unique identifier. While I'm in this area, are there other namespace attributes anyone is interested in exposing?
