The hack needed when running a Junos-based RR in an MPLS 
network to allow route reflection of l3vpn routes on an RR 
not running MPLS.

For IOS and IOS XE (and IOS XR, I think), this wouldn't be 
needed as unlike Juniper, Cisco don't treat MPLS signaling 
protocols as (pseudo) routing protocols.

+1.
