First, wasn't someone trying to integrate the LACP state changes
into the usual "ip monitor" netlink notifications? What happened to
that?

Second, the "3ad" nomenclature is obsolete; it refers to the
original IEEE 802.3ad standard, which was replaced by 802.1AX in 2008.
Most of the time, though, folks refer to this as "LACP." Anyway, my
point here is that the name, assuming we go with a tracepoint, should
have "lacp" in it instead of "3ad."
