Yes, virtual chassis is another one I won't be spending any 
brain cycles on.

There are simply too many moving parts, that it's just 
better to have separate boxes each scaling in its own way.

In fact, with some vendors, you lose a lot of simple 
resiliency by deploying virtual chassis, and then inherit 
unexpected complexity in the process as well, just to three 
routers look like one.
