My network admins say the same thing and I laugh at them. Get the support of 
the CIO/CTO and make them grovel! They tend to have blind faith in the Cisco 
gods even when presented with facts suggesting they shouldn't.

I'd say that it's not relavent wether there are no hacks today. 1: History 
shows that there are flaws and that they will be found 2: Software controls are 
prone to failure and modification which ultimately lead to unintended 
configurations.

If you intend to manage/configure the firewalls AND the DMZ switches then 
consider it (knowing the risks) but once someone else manages part the equation 
all bets are off.
