	That's a stupid reason to make things harder to find.  It seems entirely
reasonable to have a title on the agr man page that says something like:
 link aggregation pseudo network interface driver (aka bonding or teaming)
	especially since it'd be such a big help to someone trying to find
that particular man page.  Just because there's a "standard name" doesn't
mean that people are going to magically purge all the other names from use
or from their thoughts.
