The rumour is that IOS XR 5 will introduce "speed" in 
upgrading CRS and ASR9000 platforms. Just how much time we 
can shave off an update/upgrade is yet to be seen.

Frankly, considering how large the Juniper MX- and T-series 
routers are, upgrading those systems is far less painfull 
than doing so on an IOS XR-based platform. Far less 
painfull.

It feels wrong that someone at Cisco isn't losing sleep over 
this.
