U1 switch have only 24 - 48 ports, so you never need to handle 2000 VLAN's
on it. And I suspect, that the whole design is wrong.
Do not build custom configuration (4000 VLANs), build standard configuration
(20 - 40 VLANs) /except - if you want to became a QA for the whole vendor/.

I agree, but you could still have 4000 VLANs with multiple VTP domains.
Using 3550-48s you can have L3 links between VTP domains.
