It is disingenuous to imply things are broken when they are not. The first
link you sent isn't close to conclusive, and may have absolutely nothing to
do with a bridge per se. You can also find the OP's more in-depth
description in the mailing list archives along with other relevant
information to your "broken" claim. Many of us are using bridges without
issue. For example:
bridge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu
1500

If things like bridge or lagg were actually broken in some non-edge case,
hard to replicate way then it would receive its due attention. If you've
got an edge case no one else can replicate, it's probably going to sit out
there awhile.
