[c-nsp] CSCea21516...WHY no fix for 12.2T

That kinda works, it is PPPoE that is the kicker that pushes me to T (in
122)
and I see 123 mainline has PPPoE.

BUT, there is no control plane in 123 mainline. It is broke in 123T (for
7206XVR).
Without the control plane feature we will have to migrate to another router
vendor that supports
it & has for some time. I have waited long enough to properly protect my
interfaces and loopbacks
& if this current change of IOS for me cannot include control plane then
Cisco no longer supports the features
I need. My attempt to use 123T was not a pleasant one.
