I'd like to offer a positive acknowledgment to adopt this draft.  add-paths
has been proven to address the original oscillation issue in our labs.  

We have generally not seen providers looking to implement add-paths
specifically for this purpose though.  The solution tends to be a bit too
heavy weight and requires first detecting that the condition is occurring,
and then deploying add-path to suppress it.  Other solutions such as
adjusting IGP distance, as documented in RFC 3345, seem to be better
deployed.
