So from the blog post it seems it has "all the advantages of a linux

Genuinely hoping I misunderstood though!
It's an out of the box complaint - building additional packages isn't
very hard but it'd be nice if their repository contained
$all_the_things. It was annoying while playing and experimenting - now
it's just ./build-network.sh and the magic happens.
No need to build anything, just add Debian's apt repositories to the
switch config, even works for the non-x86 control planes.
We run Cumulus on our kit at IXLeeds:
root@10gb-1:~# git --version
git version 1.7.10.4
installed from ftp.uk.debian.org.
