The tricky bit in migrating from narrow to wide metric support is that you need to do so with as little service disruption as possible. If you just go to some routers and turn on metric-style wide, routers that don't understand wide-style metrics will not understand the IS-IS advertisements from the wide-style routers, and your network will break.
