The other thing to note is that there are all the legacy DOCSIS 1/1.1/2.0 CMTS. Moving everyone to DOCSIS 3 means either spending a lot of money on new line cards for these guys or spending a lot of money on more line card and next-gen CMTS, leaving the legacy CMTS for STBs only.

There is absolutely no business case for doing that at this time. L is the entry level product, there are 3 other higher tiers to choose from, no reason why it can't stay at 10/1 for the foreseeable which certainly doesn't need DOCSIS 3.
