Well, those were my words, and we do actually run 12.2S on most of our 
7200s (we do MPLS, no v6 [yet]).  It was mentioned several times in that 
message.  So in the context of my message, I don't care if you can run 
full routes on a 256mb NPE with certain IOS versions.  I care if I can 
with the IOS features I need.

I've also got an NPE225 running 12.1(5)T due to a weird combination of 
features it needed.  It obviously needs an upgrade as well, and it's tight 
enough on RAM now that I really don't know if it's going to make it with 
12.3 code.  It's got a BGP customer wanting full routes, so it carries 
full routes.
