Which, in many cases, already was a single point of failure. Keeping a
few spare, low-grade switches at least allows you to get things back
up quickly in many cases. Whether that's 'true' redundancy is probably
another debate.
That said, even with switches being a single point of failure,
introducing CARP does allow for additional benefits (such as
maintenance becoming far less disruptive).

True I guess I am just trying to justify the time I spent
learning/configuring STP to quiet the local CISCO nazi's who howled at
me for not buying PIX fw's.
There is the small feature gap in not being able to fail back though.
CARP of course will, but I can not force a pfsync of the states back
before the ip migrates back to the master.
