I mostly agree; my experience in enterprises is that OSPF could deal with
human-scale cable plugging, but that stock-STP could not. (RSTP could be
tuned to deal, but not all vendors gave me enough knobs: which is why we used
OSPF).
But, Dino's original query didn't specify a time scale.

Took me awhile to parse the double negative to say:
my old ISIS code would certainly be happy with up/down events on the
order of one every second or a few seconds.
