Hi,

I'm confused.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/products/hw/switches/ps708/prod_bulletin0900aecd80313e15.html

claims that 12.2(18)SXF will have the software modularity enhancements
(restart individual processes, etc.):

--------------- quote --------------
Cisco IOS Software Modularity combines subsystems into individual
processes and enhances the Cisco IOS Software memory architecture to
provide process-level fault isolation and subsystem ISSU capability.
These enhancements are delivered in Cisco IOS Software for the Catalyst
6500 Series Supervisor Engine 720 and Supervisor Engine 32, maintaining
the feature richness and operational environment already familiar to
network operators. Cisco IOS Software Modularity will first be delivered
as an option in a build of Cisco IOS Software Release 12.2(18)SXF. 
--------------- quote --------------

OTOH, the "new features" list for SXF does not mention anything of this,
just some other enhancements, which sound nice, but far less spectactular.

So what's the current state of affairs...?

thanks,

gert
