I suspect the problem is not the operation aspects of the discussion, but rather the nasty and sometimes personal invectives flying around. They were particularly prevalent in the "Cisco gate" thread, and generally absent in the other threads. Just my 2 cents.

Perhaps Susan was not clear enough yesterday. The mailing list administrative committee would request that you allow this thread to stop. It has certainly outlived its operational usefulness. I am now reiterating that request.
Unfortunately, there's enough places where this touches on operational issues (such as getting enough information about a new release of router software so you can make informed decisions affecting your customers). And obviously, a number of people think this is an important subject.
I suspect that adding a "This would be more on-topic/relevant on the XYZ list" would help kill it here...
Any suggestions where it would be more relevant?
