Indeed. And as you’re alluding to and most probably already know this — yeah 
most of us end up settling on “some release train” for a while, after we spend 
3-4 months testing it thoroughly in the Lab... then spend 18 months getting 
everything in the network “up to that release”. With hundreds of beefy devices 
spread across the globe, and having to do customer notifications to each and 
every service, (and get them to also agree on the time that we’re doing it.. 
some of my customers have a LOT of weight, and can say ’no’), it does take 
quite a while to get through it all.

And yup - by that time, 2+ years has gone past, and it’s time to do it all over 
again. Lather, rinse, repeat. ;)

FWIW — The last one I personally did testing on for our LAB and production 
network was 20.4Rx-Sxx (EEOL version)….. so yeah, we started running into this 
new “sh[tab] rou[tab]” command in the Lab in the last few months as we started 
our tests on 21.4 and 22.4 (the next EEOL candidates for a global rollout)

It is what it is. ;)

My hope is that it’s ‘not too late’ to fix this slightly-annoying UI/UX 
experience and this can be pulled back from the jaws of defeat before it gets 
entrenched too far. as Mark said, If it gets looked at, great. If it doesn't, 
it's not the end of the world; but if we, as customers, don’t provide useful 
and constructive feedback to Juniper (something they’re asking fro with their 
outreach programmes, the Elevate community, the Juniper circle, etc..) then it 
has a 100% chance of never getting looked at. 

- CK.


FWIW — The contrarian position would be if I were to simply just blindly 
install “oh hey, theres a new JunOS” every 3-4 months, and we get a nasty VPLS 
bug, or an eVPN bug, or an HQoS Bug, or an ISIS/SR bug which causes an 
outage/customer issue, I’d quickly find myself with a pink slip. ;)

To the Junos developers, this is ancient news, long forgotten in the 
dozens of sprints and multiple releases since.


While I do take your point, to be fair, this is one of those things 
operators are not likely to complain about because it would be coming 
from a place of priviledge. There are far more pressing issues than 
this, to be honest.


So like us who have been running Junos 21 for the past 8 or so months, 
we've been struggling with this and have been meaning to bring it up. 
But it's not a major catastrophe, so we haven't prioritized - and this 
post is really tongue-in-cheek. If it gets looked at, great. If it 
doesn't, it's not the end of the world.


If you run a network of significant size, you are going to be in a 
constant cycle of code upgrades. So it's not unreasonable to find 
operators being behind.


Mark.

I find it kind of telling that customers are just getting around to
complaining about it two years after it was released. Not at all
surprising, but illustrates how slow network operators update cycles can be
compared to the pace of development.

To the Junos developers, this is ancient news, long forgotten in the dozens
of sprints and multiple releases since.
