Looks like this is the difference between the bundles and the gray boxes
like MX80-5G vs MX5 and so on. For bundles (which are about to leave the
price-list till the end of the year) the port restrictions are honor-based,
and it looks like (of course, there is no official approval) this is going
to be kept on. For MX5/10/40 Juniper is promising to enforce it in
11.4/12.1 or something, I forgot.
