David, if you mean not touch bond and team but have the switchdev api do 
it transparently, yes, i had it that way initially.
And i do liked it that way as well. But the feedback i received (during 
the initial introduction of this for setlink/dellink) was to make it 
explicit for each master.

Thanks,
Roopa
