During the product's most significant test since being purchased from Perfigo, Cisco is sitting on its hands and telling its customers to fend for themselves.

Not confidence-inspiring. As a big Cisco flag-waver, I'm actually a little speechless. 

Cheers,

Bruce,

All I can say is that myself and some of my colleagues did put some 
pressure on to add this in. I know we sound like a broken record when we 
say this, but I would strongly encourage anyone who is unhappy about 
this to tell their account teams and have them put pressure on from 
their side as well.
