Should the Service Provider version of routing software include the
redistribute bgp command? Other than CCIE labs, I haven't seen a
real-world use for redistributing the BGP route table into any IGP.
If the command was removed (or included a Are your sure? question) what
would the affect be on ISPs, other than improving reliability by
stopping network engineers from fubaring a backbone?
