Alright, we'll be using them for v6 too, and I believe we should go
forward with it, even if Cisco's software advisor doesn't know about
SUP720 images, and even if there's no 12.3 or at least T train
available...there's 12.2S, this should hopefully do (we don't need
MPLS at the moment)

Thank you for sharing,
