[j-nsp] Is Juniper moving features to AFL on EX Series in 12.3?

[Andrew Jones]

Sort of unrelated, but a quick question in regards to AFL's. I'm looking to
run BGP on a EX4500/4200 mixed mode VC (2 x 4500's, 2 x 4200's for 4
switches total) with the EX4500's as the RE and backup RE (preprovisioned).
Do I only need to purchase the AFL's for the EX4500's or all members of the
VC? Any other caveats I should be aware of?
