I'm going to lab test it, but I was hoping that more sensible system-max 
settings (keeping in mind there's only 1M slots to carve up) would make it 
possible to raise the v6 limit to around 75k while still maintaining 
enough room for some v4 table growth, the idea being, buy some time so we 
don't have to rush to decom our remaining brocade routers or come up with 
other workarounds (less than full tables).
