No one is saying that cRPD isn't the future, just that there are a lot
of existing deployments with vRR, which are run with some success, and
the entire stability of the network depends on it. Whereas cRPD is a
newer entrant, and early on back when I tested it, it was very feature
incomplete in comparison.
So those who are already running vRR, and are happy with it, changing
to cRPD just to change to cRPD is simply bad risk. Many of us don't
care about DRAM of vCPU, because you only need a small number of RRs,
and DRAM/vCPU grows on trees. But we live in constant fear of the
entire RR setup blowing up, so motivation for change needs to be solid
and ideally backed by examples of success in a similar role in your
circle of people.
