There are many existing customers still willing to buy only FE switches,
because of number of reasons - including existing cabling requirements
or policy things. No matter how would you approach this from sanity
point of view - it's their choice and a market to sell to.

On the other side, Cisco policy to insert a product is always based on
a life expectancy of 4-5 years at minimum. Given there are still
customers willing to buy it (or forced to - see above) I don't see
compelling reason to loose business being handed over to you on a plate.

My 0.02c.
