Title:
  Renaming interfaces using *.link file does not work

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Dear Ubuntu team,

  I wanted to use "systemd-networkd" intead of "udev" to rename network
  interface like this:

  (replace MAC by real one)

  ########################################
  echo '[Match]
  MACAddress=12:34:56:78:90:11

  [Link]
  Name=myname123' | sudo tee '/etc/systemd/network/myname123.link'
  ########################################

  (and reboot)

  But it does not work. And it should work based on the systemd
  documentation. I googled the issue but I didn't find anything
  interesting instead that I should run "update-initramfs -u" but that
  didn't help.

  I tested that this doesn't work both on Ubuntu Desktop 20.04 and
  Ubuntu Server 20.04.

  Thank you,

  Kind regards,
  Ven
