Nope. We had so many open bug reports with Extreme last year that
they have decided that they don't want to renew our contract. That's
right, we gave them too much work... on their own crappy code. So
they somehow figure that refusing to renew the contract is better
than actually allocating resources to fixing the many and prevalent
and massive bugs in the CrapOS.

We already went to Force10, but we had a few sites that are going
away and we wanted to avoid expenses for those. I'm pretty sure that
us going to another vendor is part of their little "we aren't going
to renew you" game.

FYI: anyone want a bunch of 6808 chassis and T48i or G8Xi cards? We
have lots, quantity discounts available. They are probably fine as
L2 switches...
