What would help here, is for a carp interface to wait a given delay
(tunable through a sysctl ?) after creation or after being brought up

I see now.

The tunable sounds like a good idea; we should check OpenBSD, they probably already implemented something and we're behind.

If not, a "preempt dampener" feature would be an awesome return feature.

Might need to implment another state: MASTER-LISTENING (or LEARNING) ah a STP.

I have the same observation. Perhaps it can just avoid going up initially --- it will become master anyway if it does not hear anything on the interface.
