Which seems inline with my reading of Cisco's strategy: replace the
jack-of-all-trades 6500/7600 platform with mission-specific hardware:
Nexus + ASR1K + ASR9K. They make more money this way, as people won't
move the same chassis among these roles, refurbished 2nd-hand hardware
will be of less value to an specific group of needs/buyers and so
forth.
