This is where the education portion comes in. Some people will want to
use a lower end router to trunk for studying his or her CCIE exam
without having to buy a higher end router. I don't know if there is an
IOS that will allow a 2500 to trunk on its Ethernet port but this would
be a good thing for those of us with only 2500 series routers and would
like to do trunking.

You might be able to trunk on a 10Mb link, but do you want to?
If you have several fairly heavily used 10Mb VLANs and you try to trunk
them
over the 10Mb pipe, you are probably going to saturate that pipe. That
is
why Cisco says no trunking over 10Mb interfaces.
