Michael <individual contributor hat on>After listening to numerous talks at nanog about open source bgp implementations - it is equally important to consider open source since it is being used in many networks. What is most important is to protect large communities from having problems.

Would the same course of action be recommended if it were an open-source project (eg bird or quagga), rather than a commercial router vendor, squatting on attribute 30? If the answer is an unequivocal yes, then I agree with the proposed course of action. Otherwise, I think the burden falls on the vendor to fix their (with respect to standards) broken implementation.
