Hi, Instead of replacing the VR in first place we should add VyOS/cloudrouter as provider. Once it is stable, network offerings (on upgrade) can be updated to use it and we can drop the VR if we want at that release onwards.
VR is stabilized over a period of time and some of them are running without issues. When we replicate the ACS VR features in new solution it takes some to find the missing pieces (hidden bugs).
