I had to jump to 11.2 for static units with auto-configure on the same 
interface on an MX80 for subscriber services. Running into a slew of 
problems, although it is at least operational and doing what it needs to 
do. 11.x makes me cringe, but unfortunately I require features. I'm 
running a 4 problem ticket right now on it, from slow dns resolver to 
delays on show interface displaying the logical units, to race 
conditions causing issues between auto-configure and configuring static 
units (they didn't have the static units override existing 
auto-configured units that shared the same vlan), to sampled eating 
filedescriptors until the box runs out if it is configured even if not 
applied to an interface.

My mx80s and mx960s running 10.4R7.5 have been stable so far, although I 
did notice some weirdness sometimes withe the ae setups (when the AE was 
first brought up, isis came up, arp worked, but ping/bgp did not; 
disable/enable fixed it and it has stayed stable so far, but I don't 
trust it).
