If they did that, how would they sell the CSS hardware?  :)

I would think that the closest you are going to get to that is the CSS blade
for the Cat 6500's.  Although, wasn't there a version of code for the 6500's
that had some local director features in it awhile back?  Or did you
actually need a local director blade?
