+1 to that. We recently ran across some 3rd-party CODED DOM-supporting optics that have worked (thus far) in both Ciscos and Brocades. When you can issue a "show int trans" and get results from 3rd-parties while Ciscos remain silent, it speaks volumes :) We still keep branded spares for any surprise issues. But I don't think we would have enough to survive a "software upgrade enforced" transceiver refusal such as the one being discussed... so I remain skeptical, and disgruntled over the whole branded issue. Could you imagine if you could stick a vendor PROM in an ethernet cable? We don't tolerate such silliness with any other interfaces...
