[j-nsp] JUNOS and MX Trio cards

6 years by my count. The weird thing is I'm constantly running into 
plenty of really smart competent people at Juniper who do want to help, 
they just have no idea that things are really this broken, or they 
aren't empowered to do anything about it. I guess you could call that 
"they don't care" at a corporate level.

Yeah, let me just say I work with a number of supremely competent people at Juniper who care immensely about the customer and the product.  I can't emphasize that enough.  I think Juniper does care, actually, I think that there is "paradigm" shift that is happening there with respect to how code is produced.  I understand things will get much, much better in 10.3 thru 10.5.  

In the meantime, 10.0r3 / r4 will likely be our production code releases.  Knock on  wood, these will do at the moment... The folks we are working with at Juniper are putting some effort into making sure these are solid releases for us.

Does anyone in systest actually do anything any more?

I have actually heard there is some frustration there.  See comment above about paradigm-shift.
