_I_ know... SOme features were asked for two years before they were launched.
It can be considered as "great success", but that greatly depends from point
of view. :)
SOme feature requests were assigned "C" status, which means "will not do it",
without any reasoning behind. As a result, some very good things in Cisco IOS
will never be usable in my environment and more and more people will
switch them off, when bumping at the absence of these features.
So, I would rather call situation with feature requests "unsatisfactory", than
with any other grade... :(
Unfortunately, though... :(
