No, the lazy operational implementations of how people deploy BGP
in their networks will be the downfall of the Internet. I see on a daily
basis, wrong announcements, route leaks tripping max-prefixes, RADB
entries that are either totally out of date, completely wrong or
for some large organisations they don't even have RADB entries.
sBGP may [and probably will] help with some of that but its not 
a panacea.

Regards,
Neil.
