Yes, this, indeed, was a problem. But I'm sure Juniper also 
saw that if they shipped a half-decent MPLS code base in the 
1U EX-series platform, it'd be a commercial disaster for 
them.

For this, I can appreciate. Problem is, the MX80 is too 
large and too expensive as a true "MPLS in the Access" box. 
This, in my opinion, is where I think Juniper dropped the 
ball; and Cisco's new ME3600X/ME3800X is right on cue to 
sweep this market.
