If there is a legitimate concern of the impacts of
some IOS commands, would it be nice to document them
seperately or at least mark them as "use with care" or
" should not use on production equipment"?
Please do not tell me all the so-called undocumented
commands are useless.

I think as an educational list, this is where people
should post those undocumented commands.
No body should try to test anything on a crucial
production router, not to mention the undocumented
commands.

Just my 2 cents.
