Some folks use an IGP with VRF-lite internally (i.e., not at their border).
Not having VRF-aware IPv6 IGP routing with OSPFv3 really really screws up
meeting certain IPv6 roll-out deadlines and ramps up a lot more work deploying
IPv6 static routes.  So will be seriously looking forward to it when it comes
out on the 6500/7600 platform.
