	Given the long tail, and life of equipment in carrier Ethernet 
networks in particular, I'd probably still be configuring 9192-9216ish
in many environments.  Additional tag space could be nice*, but few have 
the luxury of greenfield builds where all the equipment is new.  Folks 
are typically working with a least common denominator around 9192 to 9216,
just in case a frame has to traverse something unexpected.  Most
customers are well conditioned today to ask for 9000, but not neccesarily 
more.

	* It's probably also worth noting that as long as equipment
vendors only support N nested tags/labels, additional MTU might not be
a huge help by itself.
