Yeah.  We see to it that our L2 STP domains are very small (if we can
avoid it, no more than 4-6 devices each), and we need to go cross-city,
it's EoMPLS instead of "STP + L2 all across the core".

But our business is very much different from yours - less customers, and
much more customized setups for each customer.  We *do* have VLAN assignment
conventions, and all that, of course :-) - but at least once a month we 
need to do something that's an exception for some reason - and then I'm 
quite happy not having to fiddle with MST vlan mapping.
