[Tolstykh, Andrew]

SXH2 is now available for download. Feature Navigator is not yet updated
with the feature set for the SXH2 code though.

Well, as far as I understand, this is currently not the case, and I
haven't
seen any announcement to that extent.  (Except as has already been
written:
the *modular* variant of SXF had no support for either, but that was
"not
yet", and not "not any longer").

OTOH, personally, I have great distrust for the 7600/6500 BUs, and it
wouldn't surprise me to come to a point in the future where I need to
decide "do I want support for 32 bit AS numbers, or do I want support 
for my existing hardware".  Cisco needs to do a *lot* to get back the
customer trust that these two BUs have destroyed.
