[c-nsp] OT: Difference between the CSS and ACE

[Tony Varriale]

ACE is the product moving forward.  Althought the EoL/S hasn't been 
announced the writing is on the wall.

The most important thing moving forward is that your existing requirements 
on CSS map into ACE.  The ACE doesn't have feature parity yet (and the blade 
and appliance even have different stuff) so be careful.
