"Availability of support" in particular competent support is exactly
why you shouldn't continue bothering with Extreme. Cisco has a lot
of incompetent support, but competent support does exist and can be
found in their organizations.
We have more than a dozen crucial BGP-announcement-affecting bugs
that Extreme doesn't have the vaguest clue how to solve, including
the inability to prevent re-announcement of a default route even with
an explicit filter denying it. No self-respecting NSP should bother
with the wallowing shell of a company that Extreme is today.
