Well, the manpage states: "All link files are collectively
sorted and processed in lexical order", with that, I would assume
that 99a, being processed after 99, would override 99.

Not in my case. I have a feeling networkd won't touch
[08:00:27:0a:c5:b2]'s interface name because it has already
been named by udev to enp0s3 before networkd got a chance to run.
Could that be it?
