[j-nsp] 10.0 or 10.4?

[Raphael Maunier]

Hello Nathan,

Using MX since the first code available for this platform, we always had strange issue with R2 version.
I mean EACH time, and moving to R3, most of the bugs was fixed or non impacting the production Network.

Our SE also assures us to move to 10.4 R2, but until R3, we will stay with the "most" stable version for our MX's with trio cards.
We had to use 10.3R3.7 due to SNMP bugs and RE / SF crash on the previous version.

So if you can wait for 10.4R3, I will strongly encourage you to setup a lab waiting for it :)
