Bug Description
After installing a single node combined region/rack controller on a node with 4 interfaces but only one configured, MAAS has created separate fabrics for each interface. However, all of my interfaces are in reality on the same fabric, so this is incorrect.
According to the docs [1], a fabric is a namespace for vlans. The drawing shows rack controllers existing within only single fabrics. It seems exceedingly unlikely that a single rack controller would have interfaces in multiple fabrics and this doesn't make sense as a default assumption.
Therefore, all of the interfaces on a single rack controller should be considered part of the same fabric, unless there is some strong indication (user input) otherwise.
This is with MAAS 2.4.0~alpha1-

here is another example:

All of the fabrics/vlans in that dump were created automatically.
All of the vlans belong to the same fabric - we don't reuse vlan ID's in
our organization, so we have no need for vlan namespaces. They are all
connected to the same set of switches.
