There could be some - I'm not using such setup, but I can imagine
doing trunk bridging.
This is sometimes used with dumb (non-VLAN but 1518 bytes-capable)
switches. With Linux, it might be used as well, especially if someone
wants STP to manage trunks and not VLANs (with many VLANs it may
make perfect sense)
