Hi Jay,

Thanks for your quick notes. I'm looking forward to see the patch and
then better understand the impact on bridges and how VLANs are going
along with bonds and bridges, but the way are later two coexist
peacefully? I remember discussions in the past whether one can bridge
bonds and/or bond bridges, however, I wasn't sure what was the
conclusion and what is possible, I would be more interested to see
that the specific case of a bond  connected to a bridge is supported.
We are going into the Passover vacation and as such I would be somehow
slow in responding over the next week or so.

Or.
