Re: OT: Rumor Control: Major CCIE RS Changes - Do or Do Not

Well if troubleshooting is coming back to the lab - I'd say that is a good

is a given.

I can still see Frame hanging around for a while and maybe just being
preconfigured and worth like 0-1 points or something.

Hmm...

Have no fear, I'm not worried about the skiy falling just yet - I ate my
wheaties....and lately spinach too...
