[nsp] 7200 and PA-MC-2T3

Hi,

I was just looking at all the tools Frank posted a while ago since I just
bought a PA-MC-2T3 for a 7206-VXR. We are currently running 12.0(7)T and
are pleased with it.

The planner tells me I have the following three choices, and they all look
scary (no GD or LD for me):

12.0(6)S - doesn't incorporate bridging, so I can't use it. I noticed the
S releases disappear on the 12.1 roadmap, is this train still going to be
maintained?

that leaves me with:

12.0(7)XE - closest I see on the IOS planner is 12.0(7)XE1

Is it a good sign that that was the last release under 12.0? Is it safe
to assume that I'll not uncover any new bugs?

or

12.1(1)E - Still not a "mainline" release, and I'm not eager to jump into
12.1 codebase yet. The newest I see is 12.1(4)E (I assume 12.1(5)aE2 is
something entirely different). SSH is tempting...

Anyone running the same hw? This router runs BGP, OSPF, PA-A3, PA-T3,
PA-FE, NPE-300, PA-4T, PA-4E, and must run bridging and IRB until I finish
a move from one colo to another and can put the DSL folks on another
7206.

If I do end up going towards 12.1x, are there any major gotchas to look
out for?

Thanks,

Charles
