Thanks Art.

Well, we will have to see how some of this controller SW evolves. :) I know I was being a bit overly broad for effect, but after a couple of decades in the industry, I still see IT as mostly a game of whack-a-mole, so it will be interesting to see what the second and third order effects are from all this.

I do, however, 100% agree with the statement of getting better/smarter abstractions. Doing programmability "right" is about presenting network functions is a manner and context that makes sense to how a developer thinks and problem-solves.

On the last point, hopefully yesterday's announcement gave you some solace. :)
