I won't waste time on your uninformed ramblings, you have the facts
plain wrong. There is enough material on the net for everybody to read
up on what happened.

"carp causing outages" however is nothing short of a lie. carp
announces itself as vrrp version 3. anything trying to parse it as
vrrp2 without checking the version number in the header is buggy as
hell and that is ITS fault, not carps. affected cisco 3600, afair.
