We tend to "not do that for the production network".

One of the reasons: v4 and v6 give protocol resiliency - if the v4 routing 
is hosed, for whatever reason, I can use v6 to talk to the routers and fix 
v4.  If v6 depends on v4, it will be hosed at the same time...

Other reason: "people do not look to v4 BGP to find v6 things".

Third reason: if you use next-hop-self on these sessions, weird things
will happen :-)
