While we don't use RSVP in our network, I don't think adding IPv6
support for it would be a problem. Other protocols do it all the time;
take BFD, for example.

Rather than introduce a new protocol that someone has to learn, have
support for across the board, e.t.c., adding IPv6 to an existing
protocol is low overhead to me. As long as the operator has the on/off
switch for IPv6, there isn't much else he's learning. He already knows
that IPv6 is IPv4 with bigger numbers :-).
