From MT's point of view, if you need more gigE ports, buy a CCR.
They save 50 cents per chip, they also get to push a higher margin product.
Thankfully everything seems to be going gigE now.

GigE. It’s not that they typically all have to be GigE, it’s just an
administrative hassle. It’s kind of annoying to have to risk firmware
problems on a new CPU type just to get that, if you don’t need the added
processor power. And as a business customer demarc, the desktop case with
or without WiFi is popular. Not sure what they are thinking.
