QSFP28 - big things to come?

was browsing the routerboot changelog, and stomped upon the latest entry back from last summer (June 2017)
What’s new in 3.40

removed support for QSFP28 swapped I2C;

there was a “poll” on the forum in last may about what kind of high speed interfaces the community wanna see on “big boxes”.
http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/which-types-of-ports-would-you-like-to-see-for-a-high-speed-router/108634/1

well, qsfp28 is for 100Gbps, as it can directly emit 4x25G (4xSFP28) with proper breakout cable.
nevertheless, there ain’t no Mikrotik device out there which could accommodate a qsfp28 pluggable. yet.
therefore this routerboot update from last year maybe hints a mystery-device to come…

Impressive spotting!

Mikrotik have hinted as much. Im even more excited about EU MUM now :slight_smile:
