Yeah, I see that, but I don't see what is wrong with
support.juniper.net.  If I set the system policy to LEGACY and run
openssl s_client, I see:

Peer signing digest: SHA256
Peer signature type: RSA
Server Temp Key: ECDH, P-256, 256 bits
---
SSL handshake has read 6642 bytes and written 485 bytes
Verification: OK
---
New, TLSv1.2, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
Server public key is 2048 bit

I can't see what is wrong; I think that all meets the policy.  And
that's a problem with the single all-encompassing policy... except oh by
the way it isn't all-encompassing.  Midori and Chromium both connect
just fine; so can gnutls-cli (I don't know of a corresponding NSS
client).  So this appears to stop OpenSSL and NSS but not GnuTLS.

Off to file a bug, against crypto-policies I guess to start.
