complex twisty path which starts and ends in unhelpful places.

i am not interested in a vendor nanny state, never have been.  see the
very careful and complete operator control in RFC 6811 BGP Prefix Origin
Validation.

if i know i have a 'normal' relationship with a bgp neighbor, give me to
tools to mark it as such and to detect and maybe even ameliorate damage
by [untentional (i am an optimist)] violation of that normality.

if i do not have a normal relationship, i won't use protective tools
which assume and enforce normality.

life can be simple.
