Cisco is consolidating the SFPs:
  <http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/modules/ps5455/product_bulletin_c25-681353.html>

Basically GLC-* only (i.e. GLC-SX-MM + SFP-GE-S => GLC-SX-MMD).

    SFP features on new Product IDs:
    - Backward compatible
    - Digital Optical Monitoring
    - UDI compliant
    - PbFree
    - Extended temperature range of operation (-5°C to 85°C)

This almost looks like the specs from the SFP-*, no idea why the chose
the GLC-* SKU instead of the SFP-*.
