Ok, I think I've got the scoop.

The word is that UDLD 2.0 on 6500 is being looked at but there's no  
current plan for it on the road map.  As for what extra functionality  
we get with the new "Enhanced UDLD" feature in SXI, well, that still a  
mystery.

This really is amazing.  I appreciate that doing sub second timers on  
a box with a potentially huge number of physical and logical  
interfaces is difficult, but functionality is being limited due to  
worst case scenario.  I simply want to run aggressive UDLD over a PAgP  
link that's being carried over an EoMPLS VC.  That's UDLD on 4  
interfaces on the entire box.  I know a Sup720 can handle that.  Not  
being able to use the capabilities of these boxes because of lazy  
software implementation decisions is getting very annoying.
