Right.  Speaking for ourselves: until not so long ago, our routers
were just not capable of sustaining 100+ BFD sessions with usefully
short timers - we now have better peering boxes, so maybe it's time
to start talking to peers and spread the word.

That's the other part - knowledge of the peer operators at a typical
IXP is reaching new all-time lows every year, so having something that
will do the right thing on the fabric operators's side is much less work
than negotiating anything exceeding basic BGP setup with 100+ peers...
