Lol, I kind of laughed when I saw this.
I think it's a typo for 802.1d - that would be closer to reality, but even
that is not too real, since even MST still uses it, and only with TRILL we
will see the change.

802.1q is only advancing so far. Technology deprecation, like synchronous,
L2 services, like VPLS, L2 backbones, like metro rings... Eveything
introduces just more and more Q, QinQ and QinQinQ...
