Yeah, I'm just wondering when this will end.  I've spoken with a few
different vendors about their plans for optics and they all say that "we
don't lock you out *now*".  I'm thoroughly unimpressed with this answer,
as it could lead to massive outages if they one day decide to implement
CRC checks like Cisco in a new software upgrade.

Thanks,
