There is an objective problem here, namely that there is no vendor-specific range for path attributes. Given the nature of path attribute interpretation, it could be argued that this might be a good thing because different vendors will interpret TLVs in different ways, which is a potential source of bgp session instability. On the other hand, it means that if vendors need to go off and do something new, there are no options other than squatting. A vendor-specific range will at least contain this problem, so that IANA won't run into the same problem in future. On a related issue, it would probably be a good idea to run beacon tests with other path attributes to see how they affect reachability, i.e. have any other vendors squatted any other path attribute values, and if large-communities is moved to 31 or 32, will it suffer the same problem?
