Well, as far as I understand, SXI2 is about the first release that
is mature enough to really use modular.  Finally.

So we'll do a round of detailed testing "soonish", and then decide
what to put on our production routers.

What I saw in the last PSIRT advisories made me quite happy - they did
indeed release patches for modular IOS, so it's starting to live up to
the promises.

Now... modular 12.5 would be very nice.  With features coming first to
modular, and only later on to legacy monolithic IOS.  Or so.  And a 
company that demonstrates that they stand behind this infrastructure 
change (which is currently not very obvious...).
