>Has anyone tried this on the 25xx series routers

  Yes (the 12.0-based beta).
  Ethernet, serial lines, tunnels and load-sharing.

>(or any router for that matter)?

  Again, yes: 4500 (11.3 based and 12.0-based betas)
  Ethernet, ATM, serial lines

>Does it support both IPv4 and IPv6?

  It supports many things that you'd like to see reasonably well (should
  I say: surprisingly well?!), others are still missing or not working in
  one version or the next (e.g. there seems to be a loose end in v6 DNS).

>Is it stable?

  It depends on what you throw at it :-)

  It's still beta code (accessible by NDA) and sometimes you are in for a
  surprise... But the same holds true for any and all v6 components that
  we had put fingers at, both vendor-supported as well as open source :-)
  
  Summary: Caution: wet paint!
