Additionally, Juju creates bridges on top of both physical and VLAN interfaces to allow for the same level of addressability for containers as regular machines. The bridges currently use the "br-" prefix and the underlying device name, which if it happens to be "enxxaabbccddeef0.1234" already, obviously won't work. So the length limit on interface names can be even lower than what Mike suggested.
