OT: ISL deprecated?

It seems that Cisco is moving away from ISL, with some of the newer
switches not supporting it. Is this an admission that most switched
networks are multivendor and hence Cisco is stopping development on a
proprietary protocol that is rarely being used? What reasons have you
heard for this move? I am all for open standards, but I have some
affection for ISL and it seems a shame that this will take a spot on the
shelf right next to my affection for token ring and FDDI.

Any thoughts?

Regards,

Geoff "LegacyBoyT" Zinderdine
