I'm not sure if I understand 100% - do you mean if the name used in
bridge-ports differs from the name of the referenced interface in
/e/n/i? That doesn't work currently, since the validation breaks.

I've discussed this initially with Dominik today, and we'd need to
resolve altnames every time we look up names from bridge-ports, etc.

If we want to support mixing names in the configuration, then we'd
additionally have to construct a temporary, merged, configuration and
validate against that.

I will pay more attention to running `make tidy` in the future, still
not used to the fact that we actually have a formatter now - sorry.
