If you have a full class A (ie. /8 or 10.x.x.x) then you conceivably have 10's of thousands (or more) MACs to potentially keep up with and setup spanning trees for.
Wait 'till you start working with IPv6 networks, where you can have up to 2^64 devices on a subnet!
Of course, practical considerations may limit that somewhat. ;-)
I have a /56 IPv6 subnet, which can be split into 256 /64 subnets.
Actually, our main network is fully IPv6 enabled. I didn't have any problems with the IPv6 auto configuration, which is obtained from the closest router if I'm not mistaken.
