I would note that today policies are only applied when a route is
processed upon receipt, not when the policy alone is modified.
Therefore, modification of such a policy would require the associated
route announcement to be re-advertised (either via BGP route refresh
or more memory consuming soft reconfiguration functions, or by reseting
a session or actually bouncing the route itself).  I.e., changes in  
status
from good to bad based on policy would require re-announcement of
the prefix in question if not performed by a security extension to BGP
itself.
