And I can't really think the 6.x (while much better that 5) would be a good choice for a route processor. I really, really hope that Juniper does update to 7.x in about a year, though. Routers still tend to run older CPUs in their route engines (and I don't just mean Juniper), but sooner or later they will start running on dual-core CPUs as requirements of routing in the increasingly complex Internet require more from the RE and, when that day arrives, 7.X is likely to become an urgent requirement. I rather suspect that Alfred is aware of the issues. It's also worth noting that, while JunOS is based on 4, it has many things from newer versions that they (Juniper) retrofitted into the system. -- R.
