Hi Shane,
for the boxes that are currently installed in the network, this is not a
valid option (politically/commercially speaking).

Well, Cisco, Juniper and ALU are shipping carrier-grade OS's that will
run on a server in a VM.

Brocade is also known to be doing good work there re: Vyatta, but I
don't know of anyone running that as an RR.

In 2015, I'd never spend money on a dedicated RR running on router
hardware. Server, VM, end of story.

Mark.
