RE: [Bonding-devel] Re: [bonding] Add basic support for dynamic configuration of bond interfaces

I think this would be fine if you have some simple policy
maybe upto 5 variables. Its simplicty gives it a lot of value.
However, once you start getting into more demanding setups with lotsa
table based configs this is quickly going to turn into a configuration
nightmare. What we should shoot for with netlink is to make it
as stoopid-proof as well - although not too stoopid proof to be
dangerous.
