Yes.  I continue to be disappointed at 2960/3560/3570 buffer performance
(so much to the extent that we're currently deploying another vendor at
L2).  We're still somewhat L3 bound to Cisco for the moment. 

Also not impressed with the IPv6 capabilities (and associated
restrictions if you try) of the line.  They have apparently run their
course without a significant architecture/hardware change.  Especially
given no IPv6/VRF support on the lower-end Catalysts.
