Note there's a 4a - the "a" release generally indicate pretty serious 
bugs in the plain release, IME, but I haven't pored over the release 
notes in a while.

Just to continue the comedy train for the 68xx IOS discussions, watch 
out for CSCut83493 on anything prior to SY5 ;o)

There's a slightly-larger-than-normal number of resolved caveats in 
SY5/6, be aware.

Basically, Cat6k IOS is the same it's always been - find a release where 
the known bugs don't affect *you* and stick on it until otherwise.

(It's not proving a great platform for us TBH - I still can't get good 
Netflow performance out of a 68xx in exactly the same environments a 
sup720 thrived... oh the irony)
