We have found MST to be mostly pointless...

"Too much hassle, too little gain"

But then, we're a service provider environment, and there are hardly
two VLANs that share the same topology - which maps very poorly to MST
instances.  At the same time, there is a fairly high dynamic in adding
and removing VLANs, which is *quite* painful with MST instance 
mappings...

I just wish more vendors would see the light and implement rapid-PVSTP.

Or at least PVSTP, instead of "yes, we have VLANs, and a big global single
STP" (which is really useless).
