I'm running Native IOS on 6509's and 6513's. The 6509's have been running native for about a year without any issues, both with SUP-2 and MSCF. One thing to remember is that you need to copy off the VLAN database (VLAN.DAT file).
The one dilema is redundancy. With native IOS it's best to run redundant chassis' and HSRP between the two. you can build redundancy within a single chassis, but to reload a config from a standby SUP / MSFC it takes about 5 minutes. In an enterprise environment it's not acceptable. Cisco is also moving towards a single IOS. To install new gear with native IOS from the start would be the best. You can convert to native down the road but it's not painless.
