there was a semi-decent timeline covered at NLNOG today, going back to 2002,
namely an attempt to do something here:

https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-lange-flexible-bgp-communities

Here’s the presentation slides:

https://nlnog.net/static/nlnogday2016/14_NLNOG_large_communities.pdf

I’m hoping there is an archive of the video, as there was palpable
frustration from the operator community at the microphone which may
help inform the frustration which is here on-list.
