I've been running the advanced IP services SSH WAN flavor of 12.2(33)SXI4a on
my campus core boxes (6500, sup720-3bxl, 67xx cards, some DFCs) for over a
month with good results.  We do IS-IS, a little OSPF, some sheltered BGP, &
multicast, all for IPv4 & IPv6, in addition to various layer-2 stuff.  It
seems to have fixed an apparent scheduler bug we had in 12.2(33)SXI1 which
would cause brief but disruptive CPU lock-ups.  It doesn't seem to have 
broken anything for us.
