It's all about OPEX - we have people here working with JunOS for ages and
never touched XR. Nobody will invest in XR training, also we don't want to
have two platforms for specific services.

Two points against XRv:
- crazy and time consuming upgrade procedure for XR comparing to IOS/IOS
XE/JunOS
- SmartLicensing only, cloud licensing sucks

Big point for XRv:
- great performance
- general packaing/support is much better for Cisco NFV than vMX. But I
hope vMX will catch vSRX which is already mature.
