The values of these objects are very much driver-specific and can change at almost any point. For example, with some drivers, changing the MAC address of a given interface can lead to a change in its port ID.
This driver-specific nature makes it hard to predict all factors that affect the values of these objects. Therefore, to avoid guessing, these objects can be considered volatile.
Testing done: this patch helped prevent configurator rollback errors after MAC change on some configurations
