I was playing with a sup2 adding in extra routes to the point that it 
ran out of memory. Unfortunately, it didn't just drop routes like I 
thought it would. CEF disabled itself as well, which on a busy box would 
be a disaster.

Is this what people expect will happen in a few months to people using 
sup2s? Or am I missing something else?
