Of course most people claim isis hello padding is deprecated, including 
Juniper. :)

Also, turning on isis point-to-point also eliminates all of that DR
election nonsense as well as getting rid of the pesky multicast hello
packets which occasionally break things, but it's always a pain to
remember to turn it on. Personally I wish there was just an interface
unit level "point-to-point" flag you could set that told all associated
protocols this was a p2p even if it's over ethernet.
