Hey Mark,

I have often found it interesting how many folk have muscle memory for
"commit and-quit", including Juniper's own staff when I've had the
pleasure of being with them on a PoC. It's almost as if I missed an
entire period of Junos where that was deemed to be good practice :-).


That’s definitely a practice guaranteed to result in needing to drive to
the DC.

I wonder if it creeps into some folks’ MO because the control plane on many
platforms is soooooo slow to commit. Many don’t know that a “commit check”
is sufficient to confirm a commit, but even that can take a long time.

Cheers,
Dale
