That's one of the reasons I like XR at the each, the RPL is great.
Also even if you're behind on your automation jazz, the reality is
that having "commit" functionality on the CLI which doesn't apply
config if it's syntactically invalid *is* helping to reduce errors at
the edge.

Yeah I won't deny I really like this about classical IOS and IOS-XE
and I'm saddened that Cisco still haven't sorted out IOS-XR in this
regard.
