No, I'm just saying it's not as straightforward and "meant for mass
consumption" as juniper's no-cspf. If you use verbatim and an
explicit path with at least one entry (or all the nodes from ingress
to egress if you like) you can get the cisco ingress to signal path
setup via RSVP-TE without having to use IGP-TE.

Yes, you need wide-metric wide among a few other things configured.

HTH,
