4500 is centralized architecture, all intelligence is on the active
Sup. As the Sups support clocking the LCs with their own speed,
there's no issue and it is supported.

If it's just for connectivity, it's OK, mind you there's a bandwidth
difference - 6Gbit/s FD for "classic" cards, 24Gbit/s for Sup6E cards
and 48Gbit/s for the new LCs and Sup7E.
