Good point. Thanks for the useful contribution to the debate.

a) Regarding this specific point, could the draft refer to this point. e.g. add this requirement (if this is a requirement draft, which it looks like it when reading the first sentence of section 2) or add the solution (space) (if the draft define a solution).
e.g. "When the BGP speaker is upgraded to those new default behavior, existing BGP sessions, configured using the old default, must be unaffected".
Or whatever text.

That is indeed the most significant deployment impact, so it's good that it can be addressed/included, rather than silently ignored.

b) Still, this draft introduce new deployment impact to all network operators using EBGP, including the ones not concerned with this problem space, as provisioning tools need to be updated prior to this deployment, otherwise provisioning would fails. Plus silently fails as the session is kept up, silently ignoring the route with no feedback to the EBGP peer). Plus for each plateform, they need to selectively handle both configurations depending on the software version of this plateform.
