Initially, we plan to use a non-teamd userspace component for teaming
control due to several non-standard requirements, such as
synchronization with unrelated software. It is probably worth
converting the teamd lacp runner to independent control at some point,
because according to the spec: "It is recommended that the independent
control state diagram be implemented in preference to the coupled
control state diagram."
