digging through my notes from the service provider partner vt meeting from last 
summer:

(*) ncs4200 positioned as tdm-to-ethernet conversion box to ease the movement 
from legacy networks to ethernet
(*) not considered a replacement for legacy dacs —- cost per port too high
(*) initial market meant to be larger carriers — “ncs” moniker helps with 
positioning in transport teams
(*) initial release will have parity with asr900-series (903/907/920) — 
including running ios-xe
(*) movement towards ios-xr expected sometime within 18 months of platform 
release; not in “ec” yet
(*) module parity between ncs4200 and asr900s at fcs
(*) modules may be developed in either platform that may not necessarily be 
absorbed into the other (think b/u split here)

thats all i could find.
we’re taking specific interest in this platform — as we’re deploying within 
several customer networks.
