Yes and no. As Jeff indicated BMP is a lot more raw than having entirely parsed the contents of a message. Also, BMP is implemented and running today. We need to give operators tools that are useful now - and nailing down the BMP spec is one of the ways we do that. If it is replaced at a later date by some new streamed update relating to the RIB model is something that future implementors and users will decide.
