probably not much need if bfd is used because that would operate
route-to-router.  Link state signaling is problematic because it's not
necessarily transferred to all the devices that need to see the link
state changes.

Correct, but for direct peers over PNIs, etc, the operator will usually
have control over the bgp session.  What we're talking about here is a
situation where there is an intermediate operator which has no direct
admin control over bgp sessions.
