Now that you mention the "N-word" I have to ask (as we're looking into a
deployment)...  how much of it is ready for prime time, and feature
compatible with the Catalysts?

I've been nudged toward the 5K series, but have heard the L3 version
isn't ready for prime time (oversubscribed L3 module).

I've been pointed at the 6K series, but somewhat amused by the 40G
"splits" to 10G...

We've only casually looked at the 7K... beyond our immediate budget.

We are currently a 6500-based shop for Core and Border, FWIW.
