Same here...large number of VLANs, pretty good number of customer 
aggregation switches all running VTP for the past 5 years without issue.

I wonder, are the VTP horror stories from people who didn't set VTP 
passwords to stop random "new" switches (that somehow had a higher version 
number) from accidentally taking over the VLAN database?
