Re: Cisco Announced change to R&S

Guys guys guys...
So many posts by a certain individual about a mere lab & written change.
We all got the news, the Q&A about what changed.
Jeez the changes are old news now.
Is there a need to be "worried" or "scared" or "being shown the door before
proceeding to config portion"
lol of course not.
Jeez I see way too much scare mongering and so many posts that I wonder that
the time spent typing 100 posts into a single thread could be utilised
better.

Fiction/Rumours/Chinese Whispers/What Harry told Sally ... have no place
here.
Just resort to the facts as posted by Cisco.
These rumours are amusing ppl more than scaring them by the way!

At the end of the day, what will be will be.
We will all deal with what the status quo is at the moment in time.
