We've been informed that their enterprise customers demand LX4, hence
no XFP in 'switch' portfolio.

I'm going to cry blood in few years when I have tons of XENPAK and
X2's to sell and no one is buying :). (hey didn't that already
happen with GBIC, but that was so long ago in Internet time).

Anyhow for you all XFP fascist, I do hope SFP+ happens and you'll
share my fate of already buying optics that you know are going
to be hard to sell when not needed.
