Having carped, I'm obligated to offer a solution:
The technical discussion is certainly interesting to a small subset

like a beer & gear, or might I recommend forming some kind of nanog-
shoptalk sub list? Is there one like it? Something for discussing
the network substrata and not the weather a few layers up? I'm aware
of stuff like c-nsp/j-nsp, but the Linux router crowd has it's own
niche and there's certainly a place for discussing them, I just
don't think it's.. here.

I would be interested in a such a thing. I've tried approaching the
Linux crowd for such information, but they seem more interested in
writing patches to blink LEDs when Netfilter does something than
talking about performance and scaling considerations.
If anyone would like to drop me a line off-list to point me in the
right direction, I'd be very grateful. So far the most useful
information I've found on the topic has been via this list.
PS I'm talking specifically about Linux. The FreeBSD and OpenBSD
crowd seem to have lists that provide this sort of thing already.
