Which in general is something I can accept (it's documented, after all).

What is totally silly is that the box changes all *other* interfaces if
you happen to configure "the other mode" on a new interface - it should
tell you "go away, can't use <this mode> here" instead.

(Fat-fingered an upstream port to "strict mode" that way, changing 
a customer interface on the same box.  Shouldn't have done that, on
many aspects, I agree)

Some people who develop software have just no idea how to make software
fail in sane ways...
