Subject: Re: [PATCH next 5/6] bonding: Allow userspace to set macaddr on bonding-dev

The worry is about other machines connected to the same switch being able
to sniff/guess-timate enough to be able to flood a switch with LACP packets
and effectively join another machines aggregate, and thus potentially break
another machines network connectivity and/or sniff their traffic and/or spoof
their connectivity.
