There's a special place in hell for people re-using the "Catalyst" brand
name and then putting yearly renewable licenses on it.  Or IOS XE.

I'm not actually sure *which* BU is doing "Catalyst" these days, but
we're so annoyed about Cisco these days that I haven't really looked at
all these new and shiny products from all these new and shiny BUs with
all these new and shiny operating systems in quite a while.

I've been told Merak is very nice...  if all you're interested in is 
"sell to Enterprise customers and make lots of cash".
