When a 'no neighbor activate' is done for a particular address-family,

wondering if there is a real reason/need to do this. Is it because parts of
the code may be processing against some of the AF-specific settings without
checking if the AF is active for the peer?

I think it's just a sensible principle of cleaning stuff up when it's not being used. If it wasn't, then any 'neighbour ... activate' would depend on state since startup, which might also be surprising.

I guess you could add an option to the no neighbour ... activate command to leave the config.
