10.4R4 has been the least problematic code on MX (either trio or ichip, 
but not mixed) that we've seen in a very long time, probably at least 
1.5 years. There were a handful of mostly minor issues in it, but in 
theory they've been fixed in 10.4R5 (though we have only a couple of 
routers running R5 so far, so we don't have a massive experience base 
yet). As always it varies by your feature set, but for a v4/v6/mpls/bgp 
heavy core router things are finally starting to look up. About damn 
time too. :)
