JFTR: you can *not* add a 10G board to the chassis.  The Sup32 has no
fabric, and the 10G boards are fabric-only (67xx).

You could do Sup720-10G or Sup32-10G, though.  Or Sup720 + 6704/6708.

If you only need 2 or 4 10G ports, and can live with the slow CPU and
limited routing table, Sup32-10G sounds like the best plan forward.
