I would be very suprised if the current shell tools available in JunOS
aren't ALL open source based. Or are there a team of programmers
responsible for maintaining the shell, when their efforts and the company's
resources that drive them would both be better spent perfecting the
important code in the router? And, why would a shell tool break routing?

J-TAC is great. Hope it stays that way!
