Sean, Why would they use this feature for that purpose? To fake a router crash in order to load new software? Interesting way of "breaking the rules." Chris
This was put in to allow a small handful of engineers in various companies to load new software into boxes outside the maintenance windows imposed upon them by misguided but fanatical operations management.
This particular feature saved the Internet on several occasions.
