When traps were introduced my understanding was that they are for
reporting frames which hit an expectation on the datapath. IOW the
primary use for them was troubleshooting. 

Now, if I'm following things correctly we have explicit DHCP, IGMP,
ARP, ND, BFD etc. traps. Are we still in the troubleshooting realm?
