Subject: bridge forwarding delay without STP

Hi,

why does a bridge without STP enabled respect its forward delay and
not skip the learning state?  Forward delay is an STP parameter AFAIK
(and according to the brctl manual), so I can't see why a bridge not
doing STP should consider it at all.  Please enlighten me (and Cc: as
I'm not subscribed).
