Perhaps it is the 'Duke Nukem Forever' disease where the product's ship date has slipped so many times that the underlying technology becomes outdated and must be refreshed, and then it slips again and the technology needs to be refreshed again and this cycle just keeps continuing because they aren't focusing enough resources on getting it out into the marketplace in a timely manner.

Oh, but don't forget - if you want a current switching platform that can handle the density and bandwidth, you'll be pointed to the Nexus 7000. And before you start yelling that the 6500 does more IP and MPLS than most folk will do on a Nexus 7000 series today, you'll be pointed to yet another platform, the ASR9000. Don't you just love it :-).
