Well, if VM's on the NCS and ASR9000 mean we can deploy IOS XR in one go
as opposed to the current debacle that is an IOS XR upgrade, I'm all for
that. Anything else, no thanks.

Junos upgrades in "one go" already, so I'm not complaining about that if
that is Juniper's use-case. That said, if that can be improved even
further, I'm game.
