[c-nsp] Catalyst 6509 EOS/EOL

[Antonio Soares]

Yes, that's why I'm worried with this. This issue doesn't apply to the
service modules like the FWSM, ACE and so on because we need to pay the fees
for them individually.

I need to involve my Cisco Account Team to clarify after all what is the
correct end-of-support date for the 6509. It's a big difference between the
two dates I have: 2012 vs 2015.

Thanks.

AFAIK, the maintenance agreement is tied to the chassis, not the module.
