Yeah in general I agree.  However, I guess one could argue
that with a single RP that has a hardware forwarding chip
you culd let the hardware continue to forward while the
software on the RP reloads.  I don't know of that being
done on any platform though.

But that's really still a dual CPU system.  Just not
redundant RP's.
