In our case we use some older routers as managment devices... Not critical to the core unless there is some larger outage... Those devices are old enough that they can't handle a newer rev of code... ACL's are the only answer there.. Luckily they have very little traffic even under heavy use, so ACL's don't hurt as much, but still something we need to be aware of..

Not only the "clueless", but how about those of us who deploy older routers sometime in the future with legitimate uses? What happens when we "forget" that this bug exists? Now we have to go through the process of adding a "don't forget the IPV4 Cisco Bug" clause to our procedures..
You don't need to add that clause as long as you maintain a set of baseline configurations. If you deploy all routers with the same code, or as close to it as possible, then you don't have to remember individual security alerts, because as you update the code on your existing routers, you should be creating a new baseline that should be installed on all newly deployed routers.
