By default, VLAN 1 is part of the trunk, and is also the default VLAN
for access on all ports not configured otherwise. If VLAN 1 is trunked
throughout the network, then spanning-tree recalculations may take place
whenever a port bounces that's part of VLAN 1.
By removing it from the trunk link, bouncing ports that are members of
the default VLAN will not propagate BPDUs (or any user traffic) over
the trunk. If you want user traffic to be trunked, the access ports must
be configured to be other than VLAN 1.

The above is silly to put on *ANY* email, but particularly so when sent
to hundreds or perhaps thousands of people on a mailing list. Please
consider removing it.
