Thanks Ben!

I'm also thinking if it makes sense to have a way in template or target
nodes to re-use the results of os-net-config for services which are bonded
to certain interfaces, or re-implement the os-net-config logic in template
to get the physical interface name. The latter one will be a repetitive
work of os-net-config.

Cheers!
