Probably - not sure.

To be honest, not really interested in what Cisco do anymore. I'll keep
them around because the CSR1000v is the one thing they didn't cock up;
and even if they suddenly stop supporting it for whatever reason, it's
reasonably modern enough that I could still run it for years for BGP-4
route reflection, and not worry about them supporting it.

Yes, I knew you were talking about an upcoming new platform. Not really
heavy into that - for us, the PTX1000 meets both of our 10Gbps and
100Gbps core requirements at a fair price, for a very long time to come.
I wish I could say the same about the
very-underutilized-but-still-potent CRS-X's we have, but alas, Cisco
again showing why I can't trust them for the long-haul.
