[c-nsp] SXI4a or SXI5

[Pete Lumbis]

Only a guess, but I'd probably say they didn't test new code with old
rommon so they can't guarantee something won't go wrong. I've seen
plenty of times where it will work perfectly fine forever, but if they
never tested it they don't want to make people believe it will work as
advertised.
