what are the new [bond_interfaces] in initscripts?

Is this for explicitly naming certain devices as discussed in this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?t=8676&start=15 ?

If it - why the complex initscripts?  wireless_tools and net-tools both provide tools for naming interfaces.  As the rc.d/network script depends on net-tools anyway why not use nameif?

Of course this is all moot if it does something else entirely
