It looks like that 99-default.link file is part of systemd, not some-
thing added by Fedora.  Given that, wouldn't it make sense to document
the effect of this file in the systemd.link man page (i.e. to document
the fact that any .link file in /etc/systemd/network *must* start with a
number below 99 in order to have any effect)?

The behavior is somewhat counter-intuitive (IMO), and the example in the
current man page (/etc/systemd/network/wireless.link) won't work.
