Please adjust section underline width.

Do we want a sentence in the documentation that clarifies that "user interfaces"
and "conduit interfaces" used to be called "slave interfaces" and "master interfaces"
(for 15 years), so that old time users don't get confused as to what happened?

As Stephen points out, maybe you want to change this notifier name as well.

"Additionally, all LAG slaves" should not be replaced with "users".
"Lowers", "ports" or "slaves", preferably leaving it as "slaves" because
it isn't the topic of this patch.
