When we first started deploying this platform back in 2011 
(I think we were easily the first Cisco customer of the box 
in those numbers doing MPLS in the Access, and probably 
still the largest today), we estimated switch reboots for 
the next 4 to 5 years until we were reasonably comfortable 
with the system from a service and operations standpoint.

This entailed both feature installations and bug fixes.

I think we should see some proper stability on this box (a 
la 7200, 6500, e.t.c.) around 2016, to be honest.

Time to invest in mass router/switch CLI software. 
Unfortunately, you have to keep up; but, all things 
considered, it's worth it.

Cheers,

Mark.
