This used to be the cc train, then later the S train. However, the S train has never been as stable as cc, and it has become increasingly less stable over time, with too many new features rolling in. I'd be curious as to exactly which CEF bugs bit them. The introduction of greater MPLS functionality seems to have given CEF a nasty bit of destabilization. - Daniel Golding

you are right. But in an era of focusing on the box, vendors are forgetting that solid software and knowledgable support are just as important.
Possibly slow down a bit on rolling all those new features and widgets into the software.... Make the software do what it should, reliably.. then put the new stuff in there.
ie.. bug scrub a train, per chassis. Make it solid.. then put the toyz in.
easier said than done when everybody wants every fancy new feature 110% solid and yesterday.
