[nsp] C7200, ATM route-bridge encaps, 12.2(12)?

Hi,

just to make sure there are no unexpected surprises... - I plan to upgrade
one of our 7200s that does ATM VC routing to 12.2(12) (coming from 12.1(9)) 
to be able to do ATM route-bridge encapsulation (RBE) now.

The box has an PA-A3-OC3, PA-2T3, PA-8E1, NPE-300.

Currently it's doing "aal5mux ip" only, but for some new type of CPE
equipment, I need to do RFC1483 LLC/SNAP bridging.  Doing this via 
"route-bridge ip" sounds *much* nicer than using BVIs and bridge-groups...

Anything that I should be aware of?  Any reasons to stay away from
12.2(12), or 12.2 in general in that environment?

(Eventually that box will have to go to 12.2T or 12.2S to get IPv6 RBE,
but I'll tackle *that* when the first customer asks for IPv6 on their
DSL line).

thanks,

gert
