Like for us, the ME3600X can swallow both GLC- and SFP- 
optics, since it's both a switch and router (although more a 
router).

Interestingly, a 7201 we have was able to accept GLC- 
optics, even though it's always supposed to eat SFP-.

We stopped keeping up, unless you're talking about pure 
classic switches such as the 2960, e.t.c.

If memory serves, the RP's on our CRS routers shipped with 
GLC- optics for the control ports.

In this case, I have to praise Juniper's consistency.
