Summary

Allowing tag stacking by default can permit VLAN-hopping attacks in
certain configurations. To mitigate this, disallow sending Q-in-Q
frames by default unless the new "qinq" option is enabled on the
interface. The bridge flag "defqinq" can be used to restore the
previous behaviour of allowing Q-in-Q on all interfaces.

to keep plural agreement i changed this to "the interface", which i think is what i meant to write originally.
