We run mostly on 7200s. 12.3 definitely still has some bugs. Esp. 
with odd things like directly connected routes and networks 
disappearing from the routing table when using CEF - at least until 
you globally disable and re-enable CEF. However, there are some 
scenarios where we have to use the 12.3 train. We run 12.2(20 
something) wherever possible. We have some customers running super 
new gear with 12.4T. Craziness I say! I'm not directly involved with 
those clients at all, but I certainly wouldn't want to run that in 
production yet. :)
