as one who has been burned when topologies are not congruent, i gotta
ask.  if i do not anticipate v4 and v6 having different topologies,
and all my devices are dual-capable, would you still recommend mt for
other than future-proofing?

In practice, we realized that enabling IS-ISv6 on interfaces already
running
IS-ISv4 was problematic without MT pre- configured.

Those links surely lost IS-IS adjacency which threatened stability of the
network.

Yup, that is the rub: if rolling out your v6 routing impacts your v4 routing
you are not "winning".
