No. Because our F10s aren't suspectible to that, period. I think this whole "control panel policing" is flat out wrong, but honestly to argue that point I'd have to do some research into what Cisco is doing these days (never had most of the good anti-dos and flood-control stuff F10 has last time I looked) and frankly, it's not within my scope of work so I left that alone.
The focus of my comment was on the "BCP38 isn't important", because *THAT* is something that causes grief for me (and everyone) in the day job.
