+      # don't have to set a new MAC address for each VLAN subinterface.
+      # However before you do this be aware of a bug in Neutron's openvswitch

+    # A simple direct reference to the parent port would be straightforward
+    # but in many (though not all) cases wrong. The trunk port spec says:
+    #
+    # "If the [neutron] backend does not implement the [trunk] extension
+    # any trunk operation will fail (with 404). If a [neutron] plugin
+    # does implement the [trunk] extension, trunk operations may return
+    # a conflict error if the [parent] port status is not compatible
+    # with the [trunk create] request."
+    #
+    # http://specs.openstack.org/openstack/neutron-specs
+    #                  /specs/newton/vlan-aware-vms.html
+    #
+    # In practice this means that the Open vSwitch plugin(s) of Neutron
+    # will reject trunk creation when the parent port was already used
+    # to boot an instance.
+    #
+    # This introduces a timing dependency (ie. the trunk must be created
+    # before the instance is booted). Of which Heat cannot know based
+    # on information present in the template unless we tell it.
+    #
+    # Though other Neutron plugins may not have this constraint as an
+    # OpenStack end user you don't want to write templates that depend
+    # on the plugin configuration of Neutron, therefore it's better to
+    # always add the dependency.
+    #
+    # You can add the dependency:
+    #   * either implicitly via 'get_attr',
+    #   * or explicitly via 'depends_on'.

+    # instance0:
+    #   type: OS::Nova::Server

+    #     networks:
+    #       - { port: { get_attr: [trunk0, port_id] } }  # BEST
+    #
+    # instance0:
+    #   type: OS::Nova::Server
+    #   depends_on: trunk0  # ALSO GOOD, but easy to forget
+    #   properties:
+    #     networks:
+    #       - { port: { get_resource: parent_port } }
+    #
+    # But if you encounter this error during trunk resource creation:

+    # CREATE_FAILED  Conflict: resources.trunk0:
+    #   Port [parent port id] is currently in use and
+    #   is not eligible for use as a parent port.
+    #
+    # then remember that the likely cause was this:
+    #
+    # instance0:
+    #   type: OS::Nova::Server

+    #   properties:
