It isn't that tedious to simply tag your VLANs on the trunk port, in fact, I would say it is less tedious than VLAN pruning a port in "trunk" mode. This is substantially similar to the way that HP does it. You also have to watch your terminology when you go from Cisco to non-Cisco stuff, I have seen that bite many people in the butt. In fact, just what you said there "pretty tedious for trunks" because in non-Cisco land, a trunk are ports in a LAG.
