I was just trying to save some space. He originally said that he was
using the 12.1xM3 image I mentioned but his "show ver" indicates that
he's using 12.2XA. I can't find any information at all about
c5350-is-mz.121-5.xM3.bin, but I do now see the 12.2XA5 version on CCO,
and this guy shows that he's running XA4.

It appears that 12.2XA is not an experimental image as I suspected, but
what about 12.1XM3? I can't find any hint that it even existed on CCO.

Thanks!
