Heh, I'm actually one of those :-). I'm more fond of redundant
networks than redundant nodes. For me the network that depends on a
single node being up is not a good network. Hence, I don't really see
point of having redundant Sup's all over the place in the core or
distribution.
You other arguments fully stand for wiring closet. If you have fully
loaded 6500 connecting end-users, yeah, the last thing you need is a
failed Sup :-).

It's always fun demonstration. I usually start it by pulling few 10G
backbone links to demonstrate FastReroute :-).
