Hi, Emanuel. Hope that information will be still usefull for you.
a. FP140/MSC40 works well together. b. Unfortunately, I didn't use 3rd party XFP. c. No problem with IOS-XR 4.0.1-px on P router (ISIS/LDP) and AS border router (BGP IPv4/IPv6). d. No support of L3/L2 VPN forwarding when you have FP140 card in the current version (4.0.1), no QoS support per subinterface for FP140 (including classification/remarking).
