As far as I know, nobody has done something like that since the 1980s:
Atul Khanna and John Zinky. The Revised ARPANET Routing Metric.
SIGCOMM'89 Symposium proceedings on Communications architectures
and protocols, pp. 45-56. ACM New York, NY, USA, 1989.
I'm pretty optimistic that the stabilisation and mitigation techniques
described in that paper can be made to work in IS-IS. Even if it doesn't
work, it'd certainly be a fun research project.
