Tony; I have a question and a comment. First the question: What do you mean by "we're growing the table faster than technology can keep up". Are you referring to Forwarding Table size, BGP processing and traffic loads, or something else? Do you mean "with a table of 100,000,000 entries, there will need to be at a minimum some incremental update to existing deployed implementations" (to which my teenage daughter might say "duh!"), or do you mean "it won't be economically reasonable to build products unless we make some localized internal (within a router) change to a few algorithms?", or do you mean "it will be financially too expensive to build products that can handle some future table size", or do you mean "it will not be technically possible to build the routers", or do you mean something else? Secondly, depending upon precisely what you mean by "faster than the technology can keep up", speaking as an individual, it is quite likely that I disagree. I hope that any disagreement is not automatically declared to be off-topic.
