Clarification: from what I can see, IOS XE is only used on the ASR 1000 
series.  XR is used on the new ASR 9k series.

I can see some logic in that, as the 1k platform is a fresh attempt at 
the parallel processing theory, formerly a flop in the PXF platforms. 
However, being able to start from the ground up in that architecture is 
probably a much safer start.
