Ok, so this is the same that I see. Maybe IBGP->EBGP PIC will be
supported in some future junos version :)

This edge/core terminology is not very clear. As stated in the
documentation [1] and "MPLS in the SDN era" book (page 801-802)
"protect core" is actually PIC edge.

This is correct, thanks for clarification.

Yes I do and I tested it too. Failover was approx 1-2 seconds.
Maybe this is the way to go in production. There may be reasons why
one does not want to "load-balance" between transits though.
