Hi Anthony
the cisco press explenation looks like boolshit, as I do not think any one
in there right mind will go trough there all network and will reset there
revision number if they did a change, personally this is somthing I am
setting only once just to make sure all match and that is it.
as I see it there is no other rational behind that, they all need to match
in your spanning tree domain.
