Agreed 100%, plus getting line-rate out of a mixed DPC/MPC environment
is a real bitch for a number of reasons, so you'll be MUCH better off if
you convert a whole chassis at a time. Though I will say that 10.4R4
didn't give us ANY grief when doing mixed DPC/MPC during the actual
conversion maintenance, which is a first for the dozen or so places
where we've done this already. :)
