I am not sure this is so special anymore. I know that this
adds "support burden" but so does a lot of stuff in the kernel.

Have anybody managed to do Private VLAN with several switches by
just using ebtables? Seems like most people here thinks that
ebtables is the right tool but none has provided any examples
on how to do it so I am starting to think that noone is so the
claim to just use ebtables might be false.
