Why not make a bridge interface and use that for the management traffic?

I make a bridge called loop1 with ARP disabled, add a /32 to it, and use
that IP for management and monitoring traffic.
This keeps management access and BGP/OSPF router IDs consistent as
interface configs change throughout the life cycle.
