Done some 7.1.3.

-Mind the possibility that you need golden FPD upgrades (previous
release we were on claimed it did it, but 7.1.3 actually fixed it..
oops).
-Also, depending on how you handle VPWS configs, there may be a little
funny behavior, already SMU'ed.
-If you've done Golden ISO in the past, you may run into a space
problem on admin plane.

Overall, we're seeing nothing interesting so far on Tomahawk + RSP880/RP2.
