Personally, I don't see why providers won't consider using 
the ASR9000 as a Metro-E router, even though Cisco are 
adamant that that's not what it's intended for, and that 
the 7600 still has a significant role to play in this area 
for a long time to come.

I think the only reason folk wouldn't look at the ASR9000 
for Metro-E P/PE deployments, at least in the short to 
medium term, is because IOS XR might be anaemic when 
compared to regular IOS.
