Except that it's not L1. It's still L2 with 802.1BR (or vendor 
proprietary version of that).

You highlight the exact reasons why one should stay away from 
fusion/fex/satellite - features must explicitly be 
ported/accommodated/tested for them. Not all performance data is 
available, OAM/CFM is a struggle etc.
