What about the impacts to vlan devices enslaved to bridges? What about neighbor entries? Shouldn't entries associated with prior device (vlan id) be removed? I think in the end the idea of changing a vid or protocol for vlan device is the wrong thing to allow. I don't buy your response last time of "That's a lot of churn (netlink mesages, kernel calls) for something relatively simple." It's not a simple change.
