Personally, I don't mind the lack of ISSU. There is no way I'm going to trust that things will go well even when ISSU is supported, so we'll always be running upgrades during outage windows, and not using ISSU just to be sure. The worst thing issue I have with IOS XR upgrades is the amount of time it takes to run the patch. Even an SMU can take decades, especially if it needs to reload the line cards/fabric. It's really annoying - almost 1.5hrs upgrading a single box. But, I hear there are plans to significantly reduce the upgrades times in upcoming code. Not sure if you need the new RP's or if the current ones will do. Cheers, Mark.
