While that's indeed correct for most standard servers, it's unfortunately not the case for some massive blade setups where the hardware can literally take minutes to show up (due to rather slow enumeration by the kernel caused by the massive amount of entries), also some recent hardware now has flexible network configurations where new interfaces may appear on demand.

bond_slaves really isn't appropriate with our way of setting up networking, however supporting a "bond_master" field on the bond interface itself may be reasonable (as I described earlier on).
