Cisco,

I believe the PSIRT notification system works well. My big complaint is it seems that some software trains mentioned in EOL notices and PSIRT updates to that train don't match up. Take the 12.4 mainline train. My Cisco SEs are telling us there will be no rebuilds for PSIRTs in 12.4, but the EOL notes (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps8802/ps6968/ps6350/end_of_life_notice_c51-574251.html) seem to indicate there should be updates until Jan of next year for PSIRT issues. Being a govt contractor, we're forced to mitigate PSIRTs rapidly, but moving to 15.0 for older platforms we're in the process of retiring isn't possible, and for others, memory upgrades are required. I've complained to the SE team about this, but hopefully this will help from the top more.

Thanks,

Chuck Church
