Yeah I'm not sure that's fair Scott, that's a bit harsh...

Before the Jag, CANbus was totally unheard of. And because of the Jag, teams got their first glimpse at what smart motor controllers could do in FRC.
Teams also got exposed to web-based diagnostics through CTRE's 2CAN and Jags. And now the RIO has both web-based diagnostics and CANbus integrated. So I'd say it was a learning curve that benefited several aspects of the control system.
