I played with it ever-so-briefly on a couple routers. Our network is 
already running full MPLS with link+node protection, which I belive the 
documentation said it shouldn't hurt, but what we actually saw was that 
it caused traffic to be load balanced over both the active AND bypass 
LSPs with no distinction between them. This was obviously very bad, so 
we pulled it and haven't played with it since (this was 9.5R3).
