Yes, it got introduced a while ago.  I guess I wasn't the only one who 
kept forgetting to upgrade/downgrade FPGA code when inserting a new 
module or an RMA'd one into a switch and have things not work in weird 
ways.  Saving the config should be enough, though, I don't have any 
boot commands on my MLXen.  And you can actually ignore the warning if 
you want to, it's not necessarily an error, otherwise you wouldn't be 
able to do "erase startup-config"/"reload".
