The big thing is just time and resources. How many different code/hardware/firmware permutations can you test? If they want to see if the NPE-300 runs with every firmware on every build since it was released with a full set of regression tests (IPv6, IPv4, BGP, IRB, etc) the time to test becomes infinitely large. At some point the vendor doesn't test and simply ends support. This doesn't mean it won't work, it just means there are no guarantees.
