That's true but basic tag switching is very simple to set up.
interface xyx
 tag-switching ip

VPN, TE, RR, etc technologies aren't yet supported on the CCIE R/S lab
hardware _yet_. Also, the 12.0 version of MPLS is Cisco's proprietary TDP
based version, not the LDP standard available in 12.0S (72xx, 75xx, 12xxx),
12.1T and 12.2T (2600s) code (I forget the exact revisions - sorry). I'd
think that we can expect to see it on the R/S lab when 12.1 possibly 12.2 is
on the test. Who knows. Now the SP CCIE I believe is certain to have it as
it is immensely popular with tier 1 service providers.
