I think I've asked this before, but is there some reason that
99-default.link can't be renamed to ZZZZ-default.link or something else
that will sort with a lower precedence?

It's pretty natural to want to create files with names like eno1.link,
enp2s0f0.link, etc.  I can't help thinking that a lot of time gets
wasted by people trying to figure out why .link files with this sort of
name don't work.
