It keeps tract of the MAC addresses, and assures that the same device name is always assigned to that MAC address. What I have found with HWADDR is that the interface will not come up if the MAC address is wrong, but it can not guaranty that the NICs will be assigned the correct device. It does make changing a NIC a bit more work - you end up with 2 places you have to change the MAC address. (I don't know if the network config GUI will change the entry in 70-persistent-net.rules...)
