There's very little chance of IS-IS going away any time soon. If you're
thinking of ignoring it and hoping it disappears before you have to deal with
it (which is my ISDN strategy), it's not going to work. We're planning on
moving our backbone to IS-IS in about 1-2 years also. No one wants to manage
two separate OSPF processes, one for v4 and one for v6.

If you plan on avoiding the SP arena, to specialize in corporate security for
example, then you'll probably be ok.
