Interesting, my MX5-T's midplane is rev 08, pem's rev 04, qxm rev 06,
so it seems that the midplane is different but otherwise the same.
Isn't there a couple of Juniper employees here that could shed some
light into this? I'm currently running 11.2R5.4 as per the
JTAC-recommendation list, I have nothing major to complain about but
still, would prefer running 10.4-series as with the other edges.
