Is it time for another MPLS VPN provisioning system discussion?

We have a Cisco based MPLS network, and currently use VPNSC for
provisioning. We're getting to the point where we have to look real
hard at other possible solutions for provisioning, including homegrown
script based solutions.

Our current frustration with VPNSC is the lack of support for the
channelized STM-1 PA on the 7200 platform. It *is* supported (and we
use it) on the 7600 - but not on 7200. The general feeling is that
VPNSC will always be many months behind what is available on the
hardware and IOS front. We have a number of other issues with VPNSC
also...

I'd be very interested in hearing what other Cisco based providers are
using, including homegrown provisioning systems.
