No, but for a few reasons. It is easy to hide devices in a dump: https://github.com/dsahern/linux/commit/48a80a00eac284e58bae04af10a5a932dd7aee00 But I think those devices should also not exist in sysfs or procfs which overlaps what I would like to see for lightweight netdevices: https://github.com/dsahern/linux/commit/70574be699cf252e77f71e3df11192438689f976 and to be complete, hidden devices should not be allowed to have a network address or transmit packets which is the L2 only intent from Florian: https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg340808.html
