I *greatly* appreciate you looking into this Ben, it's rare in opensource that 
I find an actual bug so generally I just figure I'm doing something wrong. The 
documentation is pretty clear about calling out the bond_updelay and downdelay 
parameters so at the very least those should be clarified/removed. 

What next steps should I take? Is there a bug report I should file? This is 
fairly critical to me because we run a ton of these 4 port bonds to 2 Arista 
switches (they're redundant). When we upgrade the switch firmware the switch 
comes back online, the ports all light up at the same time but it takes a few 
seconds for spanning tree to sort everything out. During those seconds we have 
packet loss because ovs thinks the ports are totally back in action when they 
aren't.

Thanks
