isnt the point of hypervisor on re/rp meant to support $os within vm?
i know cisco is moving towards contaniers-in-vm for packaging inside of ncs6000 platform. i expect with hardware revisions -- other platforms with high-impact in core/edge applications will move this way as well. 

i imagine that its somewhat easier to concurrently run two instances of router code, then quiesce the memory/state between them rather than perform tedious state saving/manipulation in memory to support any semblance of issu on box (debates about issu notwithstanding). 

i'm not current in a lot of juniper roadmap -- so not sure if this is a possibility for future code on re.
