We have tried it because we don't have the VSS supervisor 
modules, but we always assumed it was active/active, 
otherwise what's the point?

We're certainly looking forward to it on the ME3600X, and 
hope it won't be as broken there as you suggest it is on the 
6500.

Juniper's initial implementation of this on the MX only 
supported Layer 2 instances. However, they now do support 
running IP atop MC-LAG's, although they implement it using 
VRRP.
