[c-nsp] Replacing 3750X stack

[Łukasz Bromirski]

Why you say Cisco doesn't see any "longevity" for 4500X?

4500X is here to stay, as part of 4500 family, which itself is also here to stay. Roadmap points far into future.

You can go ahead with 4500X deployments, or experiment with other metro platforms - ME3600/3800 or even 6880.
