UI not showing content of `/etc/network/interfaces.d/*`

i've been setting up my network on VE 8.4. and configured my bond by adding it to: /etc/network/interfaces.d/bond.cfg

auto eno1
iface eno1 inet manual
auto eno2
iface eno2 inet manual
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
    bond-slaves eno1 eno2
    bond-mode 802.3ad
    bond-miimon 100
    bond-xmit-hash-policy layer3+4

when i check the node->System>Network tab in de UI it shows that i dont have a bond.
I restarted my network and confirmed with cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 that the bond was up. also in the /etc/network/interfaces file i had no reference to the eno1 and eno2 because its in the bond.cfg.

if i put the exact same config in /etc/network/interfaces and remove it from the /etc/network/interfaces.d/bond.cfg it does show up in the UI.
i was expecting that both senarios would have given the same outcome since the /etc/network/interfaces loads the other folder source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

Our interface parser currently only considers /etc/network/interfaces itself, so this is expected behavior. It enables having custom network configuration that does not get interfered with (but of course, also not displayed then) by our tooling.
