I'm willing to bet that Cisco's sales team is pushing back a little on this enhancement. Given the choice between prolonging the usefulness of Sup2 for another year or two versus selling a massive amount of new Sup720-3BXLs, I'm betting they'll do the later.
Yes, but higher management should understand that when customers feel that they are being forced to buy expensive hardware because a software "fix" is deemed bad for sales, they are likely to buy someone other companies products. -- R.
