Experience has shown that a lot of people are simply bad about cleaning up their trash. (And also how it was found that some particular bit of code had a hash table poorly sized...) This is really more an issue in the scope of VPN related (extended) communities, but the analogy generally holds. What I think is being missed in the conversation is just because something has a scoping bit (i.e. AS-non-transitive), nothing stops you from using policy to say "don't enforce it for *this* thing". However, I think that use case is a bit weaker once you move into the federated AS scoping case. ----- I do want to make one partially orthogonal comment here: A number of the highly opinionated operational folk that are participating on IDR follow or set current best operational practices for dealing with communities. However, you're not the only set of users of these features. Forcing protocol feature sets to stay to your current strictures because you've rigorously instrumented their behavior may not be the right answer. But whether "doing better" comes via protocol changes, or getting better common practices embedded in running (policy) code is a longer conversation. -- Jeff
