[AusNOG] Older Juniper J series routers - time bomb

[Beeson, Ayden]

It's a crappy situation to be in but I can understand how it'd come about.

Juniper should release a one-off update even though they are EOL, it'd be good press to do so and very bad press not to....

Thanks,
Ayden Beeson

I really hope someone with a bit of money and an evil gleam in their eye decides to take Juniper to task for this.  I'm fairly certain that hard-coding a drop-dead date into your devices would be frowned upon by the courts.
