> If failover using lagg with different switches is not supported or is considered exotic, the feature should be removed. The docs do not mention that this is the case.

lagg failover works just fine at present using links connected to the
switch(es) with single FIB (just one switch or stack of switches) and should
not be removed. I agree that documentation may need some warnings against not
supported configurations but it cannot foretell all kinds of network setups
built on wrong assumptions. OTOH, it can give a hint towards other known ways
to build failure-resistant setups like RSTP etc. Some short hint, because man
page is not textbook.
