Sup720 with 12.2(18)SXE and SXF has some weird BGP bugs, but those only
seem to show up for a few users (us, of course :) ).  

Besides those, our two 7603/Sup720 have been really nice.  Fast, rock-solid
(even if getting 6 Mbit of ARP broadcasts or some 100 mbit of IPv6 with
nasty options getting thrown at), and nearly impossible to oversubscribe
with GE cards :-)
