EX's BGP license is (last I checked) stil nagware which can be filtered
or ignored, though I'm sure that will change over time. J-series' BGP
route-reflector license on the other hand is now hard enforced (any
neighbors with clusters configured will not come up) as of at least a
year+ ago (somewhere in the 8.x's I think). The ironic part is J-series
is absolutely worthless as a route-reflector, it suffers *heavily* from
the slow route installation bug, and if you ask Juniper about it they
say J-series CPU is mostly locked towards forwarding packets rather than
processing BGP, and is not intended to be a BGP route reflector (and yet
they're still taking your money for the BGP RR licenses, go figure :P).
