Do the initscript and sysconfig packages (/sbin/ifup, ifdown,
that stuff in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, etc) do the right thing
with this change?
If memory serves, the initscripts will down the bond during
setup; I'm not sure if there is any dependency on that action releasing
all (possibly preexisting) slaves.
I don't have a big problem with this, but I'm a little concerned
that there may be dependencies on the existing behavior.
