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.
