All I can say is, no, just leave it alone.
Having fixed all my machines two years ago when it stopped generating
persistent addresses I have just spent this weekend doing it again now
that F36 has gone back to them.
I'm not aware of any change in behavior in F36, but maybe I missed something.
I don't care what address my bridges have, so long as it is fixed so
that DHCP can allocate addresses against it, but I do prefer not to
have to fix all my DHCP and DNS every time the policy flip flops and
upgrades break my networks!
With the current policy you'll get a new MAC every time you re-install
a machine. Is that what you want?
The upstream proposal is to make it based on the actual MAC of the NIC(s)
again.
