I actually find myself in the same situation as the OP, as I just powered
up and started doing some initial configuration, testing, and most of all:
some learning on our new MX480 (with MX-MPC2-3D), it seems to have shipped
with 10.3R1.9 on it.  Can you elaborate on the bustedness of this release
at all, or bound to secrecy?

I haven't run into anything weird yet, but I'm very early on in the process,
only having some basic connectivity to a few LAN switches, and a logical
system with a pair of IBGP sessions up inside it.  Where should I expect
oddity, as I was hoping to wait and get a better lab setup with it to try
an ISSU to 10.3R2 to see how it goes (I also have GRES and NSR enabled..)?

Thanks;
