10.4R4.5 across the board here (10.4R6 on some MX's running 
as BRAS's here).

We're not particularly pleased to see that even deep into 
10.4R7, there are still some serious bugs, which makes you 
wonder whether 10.4R8 will be really decent. I wouldn't mind 
if Juniper slowed down a bit to make sure that by the time 
they got to the final maintenance release for 10.4, it 
really was as stable as rock! Then again, I'm almost certain 
there will be service releases after that, so...

It's too much hassle to keep upgrading boxes around the 
network, which is one of the reasons we're still sticking to 
what we have. It's new enough to let our MPC's run without 
being useless - and 11.x is just too much.

Juniper, please stop releasing new hardware for the time 
being (at least for the MX), so we can get current code 
stable for those of us who might not be adventurous enough 
to try later code that fixes current MPC's problems, but 
also introduces new generation boards along with new 
chassis-wide bugs. Thank you.

Mark.
