The software may not be much of an issue, but ordering a dozen linecards 
with DFCs and having to put the DFCs on yourself is a right pain in the 
backside.

It's also useful to have boxes delivered in close to their final config 
so you can have someone uncrate and test them who may not have super IOS 
skills.
