So to clarify your definition of "centralized", even if there is no 
replaceable fabric, and the line cards communicate via a fixed fabric 
ASIC, you'd still define that as a distributed platform?

By your definition, you are speaking about fixed form factor platforms 
with neither a replaceable fabric nor fabric ASIC, like the MX204, 
ASR920, ACX7024, 7520-IXR, e.t.c.?
