I couldn't agree more, as long as you have hardware liveliness
detection and unidirectional link detection like you have on Ethernet,
UDLD will just decrease your availability not increase. As it's
control-plane feature and on timely transport of BPDU.
Ethernet has RFI or remote-fault-indicator, it can assert when it sees
line down, then on unidirectional link far end will get this RFI and
go down also.
