Well, enabling it is fine unless it's not fine, and you'll discover if it's not fine fairly quickly.

If your environment is mostly Cisco, you'll be fine. This is definitely something you want to ask them to fix too, though :D

Am I missing something else to make this work, or is it actually just not working due to its 'experimental' state in the documentation?
