to clarify my previous email, it's a matter of simple economics: automation needs scale to work properly, and in particular, bgp session management automation only makes sense for a relatively small number of networks worldwide because the cost*risk to return ratio is wrong in most cases. This is particularly the case because of poor availability of good tooling. Regarding the I-D, there are ~55000 asns visible in the dfz, of which ~6000-7000 are non-leaf, and probably less than a thousand where bgp session automation makes financial sense. No doubt, as5400/2856 would be in the top bracket of these and it would make sense for your tooling teams to automate the hell out of nearly everything, which would militate against accepting free-form advisory shutdown notices like this - but then again, BT is atypical in the general scheme of things. Whether you like it or not, the long tail of ASNs would benefit from a simple mechanism of this form.
