no, i blame the solution. if fans in my switch keep dying, i blame the manufacturer of the switch for picking an unreliable fan manufactuer, not the manufacturer of the fan alone.
wrong. more than half of all problems i hear, the _fan_ is the OS or the implementation by user, not zebra/quagga.
if an equipment / vendor you have on your network is not acceptable, do what is acceptable such as (get another vendor|debug the problem|call the support) etc
yes. i handle this by not using zebra/(.*)OS boxes for tasks that are better handled by something else.
