I think that for simplification purposes, Cisco has somewhat taken the confusion out of what the 'latest' train would be for any device running run IOS. Now it's simply 15.x/insert variable for hardware here/. I think they went real awry with the 7200 having 12.4(M/T) and 12.2(SRx) which really confused folks in regards to feature set. Not necessary IMHO.
M/T were "enterprise" feature sets, where anything with 'S' meant Service Provider. For the CPU-driven platforms and 7600 it is still the case.
I've never really understood the 7600 either in regards to the hardware part (I'm a router, I'm a switch ... Pat from SNL anyone :)
It's a router, with switch LCs unless you're equipped with ES/ES+/SIP linecards. Starting from Sup2T it's router even with traditional LCs, as VLAN interfaces were coupled with the logical interface ID, and that effectively provided VLAN independence per-port.
Hopefully we'll be retiring this pair of 7600's soon in exchange for 7k's.
