This is very poor reason to kill it for everyone, 'I recall I may have
found platform where it maybe didn't work'.
Yet, it's super common go have L3Termination - L2Aggregation - Customer.
And sell various MTU options to customers, even use the L2Aggregation
as core between two L3Termination. All of these require per
logical-interface L3 MTU, while L2 MTU is usually set to max.
From Cisco, I've done this at least on 720x, 7301, 7304 NPE/NSE, 7600,
6500, GSR, CRS-1, ASR1k, ASR9k, 2600, 3600, ASR9k, probably some
others too.
