You'll probably say "aim for the 75% case" or something like that,
which is fine, but then you're depending on your 75% case to be (a)
single AP, (b) never move (eg, only bond wifi + ethernet), (c) little
radio interference.  I'm not sure I'd buy that.  If I've put words in
your mouth, forgive me.
	The primary use case that I'm aware of for bonding with wireless
devices is in active-backup mode, paired with an ethernet adapter set as
the bonding "primary" device.  I think this is the case that absolutely
should just work.  I don't think bonding cares (or should care) about
(a) - (c) for this use.

	Your point (b) suggests that there are use cases other than the
above; I'm unfamiliar with any use other than wifi + ethernet, can you
elaborate?
