I believe this is an operational issue list and not a flame / bash Cisco
list.  Instead of looking at the glass half full, look at it as half
empty and look at how far IOS has come in the past two years.  Sure they
have some bugs and shortcomings, but if you think anyone else out there
is any better at this game, drop Cisco and go with them.  Or maybe the
best thing to do is keep pushing your TAC case until they resolve the
problem and relate your problems to open cases on the bug tracker.

IMHO if you look at IOS as a whole and compare the good with the bad,
it's hardly "fucked up pretty bad".
