[j-nsp] Junos 21+ Killing Finger Muscle Memory...

[Chris Kawchuk]

+1 Mark!

As any good problem begs for a solution, my suggestions to JNPR are as follows, as alternative places for this command:

"show route transport-class ..." (or really, is it even a routing thing? might be better w/the segment-routing or spring commands)i.e.:
"show segment-routing ..."
"show spring transport-class ....."

...but whatever is done, please, for the love of 20+ years of finger-memory.... please do NOT make it conflict with "sh[TAB] rou[TAB]"

- CK.

(P.S. NOTE that since this new 'show' command is part of base JunOS 21 and above; it's also present on all EX, QFX, SRX, etc.. devices you would never ever think of ever running segment-routing on w/transport classes or colours, but that *do* have a basic routing table, so it's not just on PTX/ACX/EVO or MX/P/PE devices we run into this...)
