[c-nsp] native ios vs hybrid

[christian.macnevin at uk.bnpparibas.com]

My personal feeling with catalyst hardware is that it'sbetter to go with 
native IOS, because of things like netflow v9 and the ability
to track conversations going on between hosts on the same vlan, and a 
consistent interface. Some of the guys in my LAN team
feel pretty differently, however. It seems they saw some issues where 
sup1s and 2s experienced MSFC loss and they still
believe that running hybrid mode is better, as it offers some kind of 
operating systems resilience in case the MSFC fails.

Anyone else feel this way? Have any experience with the current generation 
of sup32s, 720s etc losing the MSFC and the
whole show as a result? Anything else which justifies the persistent use 
of CatOS other than familiarity and the benefits of having
slightly faster feature cycles?

Thanks
Christian
