the rest of the world is going to take many years to catch up with this
decision - usable YANG is only beginning to make its way into a small
segment of high-end kit out there, and there is a large segment of
market kit where it is likely never to be deployed.

In the meantime - in this particular situation - we have no means of
monitoring ipv6 or vrf-enabled bgp sessions, other than screen-scraping.
 It shouldn't need pointing out that this is a deficit with serious
operational consequences.
