SMUs were a good idea, but not really great in practice. Most

XR for a number of years now has had the concept of a “golden ISO”.
It’s a single image either built by Cisco or customers can build their
own that include the base software and the SMUs in a single image.
You just issue a single “install replace myiso.iso” and that’s it.
I did not know that. But then again, we haven't used IOS XR platforms in
a while, because we got put off.
Basically, Cisco got this wrong the first time, took advice on what
operators wanted to make it better, but fumbled still.
We moved on.
