No it won't. LVS and new bridgeing are both mentioned in the HOWTO, the bonding isn't. LVS has fine documentation of itself and only needs to be mentioned. The new bridgeing code might need some more content in the HOWTO. I would be very happy if somebody could to a writeup of the new bonding code. I don't see how that diverts anything too much.
