Nexus 5K fex L3 limitation

[Beazle]

Per Cisco -

Cisco Nexus 5500 Series device can manage and support up to 24 FEXs without Layer 3. With Layer 3, the number of FEXs supported per Cisco Nexus 5500 Series device is 8. With Enhanced vPC and a dual-homed FEX topology each FEX is managed by both Cisco Nexus 5000 Series devices. As a result, one pair of Cisco Nexus 5500 Series devices can support up to 24 FEXs and 16 FEXs for Layer 2 and Layer 3.

Does anyone know if this limitation for L3 is referring to the 5Ks doing L3 or if the 2Ks have L3 interfaces?

As far as I think it doesn't matters where the L3 configured, because the 2Ks are just acting as Expand Module of the 5K, so even if the configuration for/on the 2Ks, it's really on the 5K.

Hope it's clear, but it's better wait for more official answer
