[Bug 1027154] [NEW] need way to get system based on mac address

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

the most common piece of information that uniquely (mostly uniquely) identifies a system is mac address.
If someone was going to perform updates to the systems in maas, they very likely would want to query by the mac address.

This was discussed in #maas along with the idea of using CNAME for
human-friendly name and then on maas-devel under "Re: Strategy regarding
DNS and static DHCP leases"
