Not long enough to have drive to the DC in the middle of the night :) 

Even "commit confirmed x" is a shield, a better one.

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,
