It doesn't , but then, if the exchange is having issues, I won't be
sending 
any further traffic over it until it is repaired, so I would stop trusting
the RS at this point.

Being that we are already in 'hack' territory
(http://seclists.org/nanog/2015/Feb/259)
This one IMHO requires the least protocol changes (we just register a new
diagnostic flag
from an existing IANA FCFS registry), no changes needed to BGP or the RS
implementation.

Saying this, it is useful for the RS operator to be aware that there is a
problem
(but then again, being that in almost all cases they run the exchange
itself
and , you would hope, have monitoring, I guess they would already be so)

As much as I would love to be there, I can't, but I believe Jerome is
sending a Rep.
