True.

Actually, the NSSes do just fine with a minimum of care, particularly
with respect to the amount of care and feeding we give to other
gear.  Part of this is sure to be due to application rather than
quality of any particular equipment, of course.  If I recall
correctly, I think we typically do a couple NSS routing software
builds per year and a couple base software builds per year as
needed.

As we see things change in the future, however, so do we.
