We shouldn't be encouraging folks to build networks that for routine events we 
then require more manual intervention when it's unwarranted. 

Why does it need to be free format?

How many reasons or signals does one need to send in a message like this? Just 
thinking whilst I wait for the till to be rebooted in WHSmiths -  I can think 
of 3 different cease reasons (and 1 of them is a form of the other). De-peer; 
maintenance;  problem call/contact us - what else ? Enough to trigger info is 
in the existing config to trigger you to the right information on peeringdb or 
other local database.

Cheers,
Neil
