Cisco stole my idea !
In November 2006 I wrote "So why not combine the features of a stacking switch with the capacity of a chassis ?"

Now it seems that Cisco have embrased the idea on their upgraded 4500 and 6500 switches
The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Virtual Switch System (VSS) 1440, which is enabled by the Virtual Switching Supervisor Engine 720 with 10 Gig E. Essentially, the system combines several Catalyst 6500 switches into one. The VSS 1440 scales system bandwidth capacity to as much as 1.44 terabits per second (Tbps). According to Cisco, it also simplifies operation management by allowing multiple Catalyst 6500 Series switches to share a single point of management, single routing instance and single IP address, while also eliminating the need for Spanning Tree and first-hop redundancy protocols like Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP).
