We've used ASR9000's as edge routers quite successfully, 
when they started shipping. Even though the code still has 
its issues today, it's come a long way since FCS.

We don't consider ISSU a necessarily useful service provider 
feature, so all upgrades would be done in a service window. 
Agree, however, that the downtime incurred in updating an 
IOS XR system makes it annoying as an edge router (less so 
as a core router, but still). In many cases, this has 
actually prompted us to choose Juniper in the edge.
