"Is LLDP / CDP that evil?" -- geez.

Ask a leading question, get a leaden answer.  

It's clear what your biases are from the first few questions you ask.
It _might_ be more interesting for you to present the points of view
within your team.  

FWIW, my most recent foray into LLDP involved advising to turn it off
for some systems.  There were defects specific to the implementation
on particular hardware, and I had a strange desire to not make my head
hurt.  I didn't label it evil, but it just wasn't a situation where I
wanted "guinea pig" treatment while the vendor sorted out LLDP.
