It depends on whether the _first_ matching file is used, or whether the
_last_ matching file is used – different programs choose differently. (If
the program merges all files, it still depends on whether the first value
of a particular setting is used, or whether the last one is used.)

As mentioned in systemd.link(5), udev only chooses one .link file per
interface – just the first one that matched – therefore 00 is the highest
priority.
