Sorry to reply to my own post. Someone on the list contacted me
off-list to point out that this does *not* include the "12.2.S"
release.
Well, since there *is no* other IOS than 12.2 SR / 12.2 SX for the
Cat 6.5 / 7.6 boxes, it would be somewhat difficult to move to 12.4
here...
The "end" of 12.2 Mainline does not impact the subtree SR/SX software
trains. These continue to live-on for bugfixes.
I apologize to the group.
I can certainly understand the confusion caused by the IOS train
splits...
It's hard to understand, Cisco is a product company with hundreds of
solutions and software sets that are tied to a platform, which have
lineage to some long-dead train. This is the culture that has been
created to ship a solution when a customer demands instead of when
some engineering criteria has been met.
The balance is certainly tipped in favor of cisco collecting $ vs
providing a quality product, I've watched this play out many times.
This doesn't mean that PSIRT and other teams are not trying to do the
right thing, just that the pull of revenue is strong. PSIRT is one of
the best teams at cisco since they have the power to do the right
thing, so please don't shoot the messenger :)
