Hogwash. EGP -> BGP

All upgrades. Works a treat.
From this little corner of the world, things look like this:
AAAA = stds track
A6 = stds track
we can do the following:
a) move one proposal somewhere else on the standards track
b) Leave them where they are.
For a), that would mean giving a nodding preference to one,
based on some criteria. Certain people seem to be leaning
toward one selection based on operational experience, deployed
code, and legitimate paranoia that the alternative is operationally
problematic.
For b) that leave the "market" to decide, leading to operationally
problematic state on questionable interoperability.
Because I beleive that A6 has enough potential, I'm willing
to have it move to experimental, giving developers and
operators more time to understand its impact. I think that
long term, its benefits will overshadow AAAA and that a
migration plan can be deployed. But for now, it needs more
work and AAAA meets todays limited requirements.
