At least some information on failure rates might be a bit more helpful in planning (ie. 1/10000 - you just got unlucky or 1/10 and you need to definitely plan for a hardware failure to happen each time you reboot the box). It kinda makes upgrading due to bug/security fixes a little more fraught with danger as the box may never come back after the reboot...
While I agree more info on failure rate would be helpful, it's worth noting that the chance of failure has not suddenly gone up, just because Cisco has announced it - this issue has been extant since 2005.
So nothing has changed except we know about it. For anyone who assumed devices could fail at any time, this isn't *that* worrying. For anyone who assumed devices would run forever, this should be a wake-up call - it was never true, and will likely never be so ;o)
