Hope you guys test this out a bit more before 8.5, I found a couple major 
bugs in 8.4R2 in only a few seconds of playing.

error: statement not found 'BASE-ISIS'

It does so exist, just outside of the logical-router config. But since you 
can't put groups inside an LR at all, this effectively renders groups 
useless when using the set cli.

Also, a failed commit breaks the ":lrname" prompt:

{master}[edit]
ras at re0.cr1.nyc1:testlr# commit and-quit 
set cli logical-router re0: 
[edit logical-routers testlr interfaces lt-1/3/0 unit 102]
  'family'
     family INET6 not allowed with this encapsulation
error: configuration check-out failed

{master}[edit]
ras at re0.cr1.nyc1# quit 
Exiting configuration mode

{master}
ras at re0.cr1.nyc1> 

Even though it is still locked inside the LR. Like the concept though, 
anything to make LR's more compatible with a normal instance is a big 
help.
