JUNOS evolution goes clearly to position Juniper boxes not only in the core
but also in the Edge. I do not see M5 and M10s as core routers (they have no
redundancy), E1 interfaces are not expected, ussually for the core.
Therefore, IMHO it makes sense that JUNOS implements in future Kompella,
Martini or RFC2547bis(as it does already).

Regards.
Javier.
