as you know, i also have not trusted route servers.  arnold asked what
would allow me to extend a little trust.  draft-ymbk-idr-rs-bfd is an
attempt.

we see many cases of small inter-peer failures where other links are
just fine.  it can be an interface, a router-to-switch cable, ...  this
is why we want to tell the rs to back off only the failing link.

your draft requires changes to bfd.  ymbk is trying to avoid that.  a
hack to bird is something we can do ourselves, does not rely on the
vendors.

but this is a call for adoption.  imiho, the wg should adopt both drafts
so we can sort it in the wg.
