The quite annoying thing about that is switching a PC-MC-2T3+ interface
from channelized (the default) to unchannelized causes a cbus complex
restart, which interrupts traffic through the router for a period of
time (the time varies based on the number of interfaces in the router).

Of course, since OIR sometimes can cause a router reload anyway, maybe
that's not such a problem. :-)
