If I may, it would be a hell of a good idea to make it work on platforms
such as the 7500 where one would think it is un-necessary. On paper,
having a feature set with rpr/rpr+ would render this command
un-necessary on a 7500 with dual RSPs. In practice, there are so many
compatibility issues with rpr/rpr+ and other features that some 7500s
that have dual RSPs run a non-rpr image and the second RSP is sitting in
the router as a spare.
