Hello,

There are many reasons why someone might actually look at replacing
such a setup, I would vote in favor of : unmanageable and support is
out anyway, so let's move it to something we know. Now, the "we" here
is quite important depending on the time you plan on staying in the
place since your successor might have cisco skills and not OpenBSD
ones.

I was in a similar situation a few years back and when we decided to
go down the 10gig connectivity, cisco was unfortunately an obvious
choice. That said, we are running OpenBSD bridging firewalls on parts
of the network (where connectivity is down to gigE).

Note that I am not starting a troll, just stating what might have come
to the mind of the man who sent the first email. That said, i'd be
interested about the background of that decision making process :)

Cheers,
Steph
