I agree with the upclocking example, but "what the company is selling" goes beyond what's on the box. If the old 1G model can do 500k packets per second, but the new one can only do 200k, that should not qualify for the same model number. There are a lot of situations where that's going to cause real problems on stock settings, after people tested the capabilities and made purchases based on those tests. I want the most important performance characteristics that would be on a good datasheet to be maintained, even if there is no datasheet.
