I couldn't find anything that said the 7500 is end-of-life/support/etc...
This is all I found on their site regarding the 7500:
End-of-Sale/End-of-Life: FEIP2-DSW-2TX & FEIP2-DSW-2FX
09/Jul/2003
End of Sale/End of Life: SA-ENCRYPT Services Adapter
31/Mar/2003
End of Sales - VIP2-50, No. 1868
20/Aug/2002
End of Sales: Route Switch Processor 2, No. 1866
20/Aug/2002
End of Sales: SRPIP-OC12, No. 1867
20/Aug/2002
I know it doesn't answer your question, but it appears that the 7500 is
still on the list.

Ah, quite right. It's the RSP2 that EOLd, but of course the RSP4/8/16 can
be used in the 7500, so the chassis continues to be supported. Good
news in this customer's case, though actually, they do have an RSP2, so
are still somewhat affected. RSP2 went away as of 16 Feb 2003, as per
