No, STP is not needed by the switches. In fact if you have hubs this works
better. STP is built into OpenBSD so it will communicate via the STP
heartbeat and if one bridges goes down the other takes over. If you do this
on a switch make sure you lower the arp cache so the bridges will switch
quicker.
