We've been running 15.1F7 where required (RE-S-X6 + MC7E) and 15.1R6 on
other MX's since last summer. no MC-LAG.

Minor issues which are mostly cosmetic such as PR1243071 (SNMP incorrectly
reporting discards as errors).

Junos 15.x is the first release running FreeBSD 10 + adds in virtualization
(at least on that RE) so we honestly expected many more issues than we
actually had.
