I've heard claims that it was expressed by Cisco people in a Networkers 
session that OSPF would get features first, which was denied by our Cisco 
SE.

One feature comes to mind that was implemented in OSPF first, and that is 
"ldp synchronization" for OSPF which is in 12.0(32)S but won't be for ISIS 
until 12.0(33)S. It's on 32SY though.

Since most larger networks run ISIS I have a hard time imagining Cisco 
abandoning it...
