1. In the coming version we'll actually allow duplicate MACs - based on a user's request.
2. We will have a warning.

+1

I'm getting this error even after removing the NIC using the same MAC.
This error is inconsistent with the VM clone feature (preserving MACs).
Comment 3 Christopher Pereira 2015-07-18 08:28:00 UTC 
BTW, I'm testing 3.6 alpha-2
