This is my (sad) face that Linux interfaces have a maximum name length. What do you mean I can't call this VLAN interface 'vlan22-matterlab'?

Also, this is my annoyed face that Canonical Netplan doesn't check or report this problem/restriction. Instead your VLAN interface just doesn't get created, and you have to go look at system logs to find systemd-networkd telling you about it.

(This is my face about Netplan in general, of course. The sooner it gets yeeted the better.)
