--- Comment #5 from Alexander Motin <mav at FreeBSD.org> ---
OK, we call it any way you like, but it does not change the facts: to be able
bridge interfaces with different hardware capabilities, some of those
capabilities has to be disabled, and changing capabilities for Intel NICs ends
up in NIC reinit, that takes time and invasive.  Before this was introduced,
bridging was just not working correctly in number of scenarios, including VNET
jails also, especially for modern NICs with more offload capabilities.  If
somebody see alternative way to handle that -- be my guest.
