I don't know why for a Metro-E application, IOS XR is simply too
heavy... maybe it's just me.

I've not ran IOS XR in anything other than a CRS or ASR9000, so can't
say whether it's any quicker in an NCS*. But if not, I wouldn't want to
be the one speaking to the NOC about why 700 boxes in the Metro are down
for longer than what we had on an ASR920 (IOS XE) for a simple code
upgrade :-).
