Actually, this has always been the case in the bonding module.

We agree that it looks very wrong, and this is in fact one of the
features we've been working on lately. It is not a trivial fix,
since, as you've noted, a lot of the code depends on the bond

this issue very soon (probably even starting tomorrow).
