Another data point along the lines of "if it ain't broke..."

When we did a SP rommon upgrade to 45 sup720s a while back (to fix
some serious booting bugs) we lost one sup720 when it became bricked
due to a failed rommon upgrade.

Since then the risk of bricking the sup720 has been added to the list
of reasons that we don't mess with the rommon unless we have to.
