The one and only place I have used RIPv2 and RIPng is for distributing igp information on links between BGP routers. Say I have a cluster of such routers with some /30 links (for IPv4) to transit, peers and each other. Basically I run RIP with "redistribute connected" on them and only running on the internal interfaces connecting the routers. All RIP is doing at that point is providing an igp path to the BGP next hop. There is really no need to run OSPF for that and frankly I don't WANT OSPF running there for other reasons.
