I'd not recommend doing that today... IPv6 global table is coming close
to 20k, and do you really want to reload all your boxes to enable IPv6?

We run 

 IPv4                - 700k 
 MPLS                - 16k 
 IPV6                - 100k 
 IP multicast        - 52k (default)

plus filtering on "out of region" /23+/24 (defaulting to upstreams), so
we expect this to last for a few more years, and then the sup720s are
going to retire to "somewhere where full tables are not needed".
