Is anyone else concerned about the numbering scheme so far? :-) They seem to just skip several major releases to try to get their numbering system synchronized but it also has the subtle effect of making us think they're progressing further than they really are.
For example, I see today that 12.2(10) is out. What was the previous release? 12.2(9)? Nope. 12.2(7) !! It's even worse in the T releases. They skipped from 12.2(4)T to 12.2(8)T. This is nuts! I took a look at the open caveats for 12.2(10) and was quite surprised at what I found. Keep in mind that they're only listing the severity 1 and 2 caveats plus a few select severity 3 caveats. With my browser window fully open, I had to hit 81 times to get through the list! That's eighty one pages of known bugs, and only the worst of the bunch, not a complete list. It scares me sometimes what I'm willing to put on our routers here at work. On one of our main routers I'm running 12.2(3) but that's only because it seems to be fairly stable in our environment and I'm afraid to upgrade. We can't downgrade because I need a couple of the features. Definitely a precarious situation. Okay, time to get some more coffee. I'm rambling. Perhaps I should attempt to argue that IGRP is a path vector protocol. Or perhaps ponder over tunneling token ring over encrypted HSRP tunnels.
