Or a very reckless oversubscription ratio and misjudgment of the customer,
example, if a provider had 2 x 100GbE capacity between two locations and
sold a customer a 100GbE EoMPLS transport circuit from A to Z, based on the
mistaken idea of "Well these guys probably aren't going to peak more than
35Gbps of traffic at any time in the near future....". Frightening.

Yes.  Many vendors are using l2vpn/pseudo-wire services of one sort or
another to provide circuits and most do not transport LACP by default.

To the OP's case, commercially, I'd find it interesting to transport a
100Gbps circuit as EoMPLS rather than EoDWDM, considering the amount of
bandwidth one would need to throw at an IP/MPLS network to transport
100Gbps effectively...
