Please reread what I said. I said 'PM-2' not 'PM-2R' nor 'PM-2eR'

Because resellers don't always tell people such things. I don't like it,
you don't like it. We have said it quite a bit.

We have several ex-Cisco people here who don't agree.
Over time it is like a melting pot. But notice Cisco has the tendency a
lot of huge companies have "Hmm... we should have a box that does X. Find
someone who does that and buy them." Then it takes a while for that
products code to mutate into a semi-standardized IOS. By which time they
have purchased someone else. And it is never really the same code. Which
is why you sometimes get bugs with a feature in some boxes and not others -
same feature, different code to do it. Looking at the product line the
HW is so varied it would be nigh-impossible to use the same code base.
