I have to agree with Gert here. The time to engineer a great, nice 
future-proof mechanism was 10 years ago, so it would have running code 
widely deployed 5 years ago.

Since we don't have that, then now is the time to standardize a "does the 
same as we have today for 16bitAS but for 32bitAS" which involves as small 
code, operational and standardization changes as possible, so code can 
get into operator routers ASAP.

So get it out the door now. Not in 6-12 months time. Now. ASAP.
