"The 6500 business unit inside Cisco can not be trusted".

Past experience shows that they are VERY keen to remove software support
for 6500 service modules when introducing new software trains, and then 
you have security issues in the old version which can only be solved by
"upgrade to the new train".  Then what, run insecure software, or give
up your service modules?

The basic idea sounds great, but the practical implementation by Cisco
led us to avoid having different types of product (like, firewall,
loadbalancer, router/switch) in a combined chassis, and depend on the
mercy of the vendor's business plans.
