Especially when we're talking about the smaller software-based  
platforms, this is directly contrary to my experience working with  
many customers on many networks, FWIW.

A huge number of features in IOS simply aren't used by very many  
people; this isn't opinion, it's fact.  Yes, they're critical to the  
folks who use them, and a network infrastructure vendor shouldn't  
break things for their customers; which is why I suggested re- 
implementing on top of NX-OS and starting with more commonly-used  
features and then moving to the more esoteric ones, and explicitly did  
*not* say 'and discontinue legacy IOS before getting everything  
ported', heh.

Sorry, sometimes I mistake your existential crises for technical
insights.
