[j-nsp] Juniper SFP's

[Keegan Holley]

+1 :)
I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but are they different
enough to warrant all the different part numbers?  How about a universal
SFP that works across similar products.  I can't comment on the others but
I've seen the EX and MX/M SFP's interchanged.  More often than not it
happens by accident.  Juniper adds to the fun by not printing the part
number on most of them.
