Sure, but as per the previous thread on this, mismatches on that could
indeed cause instability.
I guess I still don't have my head wrapped around the exact problem that
is solved by exchanging the bestpath rules used?
Making BGP safer to use, and making it harder for operators to
accidentally get their network into an "unsafe" state that might be prone
to weird instability problems (potentially hard to debug).
If it is desirable to have a different selection order (and it seemed
Cumulus thought so? And I agree it'd be good to have cluster-list
earlier), then we can make bgpd make life easier for operators by making
it harder to deploy it in a likely broken config.
Why make life harder for operators, when a little bit of code in bgpd can
make their life easier? :)
That was the use-case basically.
