Or until people who are still running multi-year old cisco code
actually upgrade? This seems to primarily impact:
1) Old cisco code
2) PC based bgp daemons
Both of which likely just need to be upgraded. I actually suspect
that a lot of people who dropped their bgp sessions did not notice
something happened, and still will not upgrade their code....I
suspect these people don't even know they have a bgp speaking device
anymore.
On the other hand, the fact that various entities have gone out of their
way to advertise that they're running old hardware/out-of-date software
has been noted elsewhere. I'd strongly suggest, if you're reading NANOG,
that you update, before someone less pleasant and friendly than myself
finds you. Please.

Remember, if it's in the news, don't worry about it. The very
definition of news is "something that almost never happens." When
something is so common that it's no longer news -- car crashes,
domestic violence -- that's when you should worry about it.
