Thanks for your feedback - and I find this interesting, that all replies
I got was "we use D56 and it is fine".

I found PR1282438 in the meantime, fixed in D57 - which matches one of
the funny explosions we saw.  Configured new VLAN, removed other VLAN
from some trunks at the same commit, and afterwards the switches acted
up extremely weird until I gave up and reloaded...

So, we'll upgrade, and see if that is more pleasant.

(And yes, there's virtualization things connected to these switches, 
so VLANs *do* change... which shouldn't be something to worry about, no?)
