I think the real quesiton is:
Based on the increased performance of routers these days..
most people running BGP aren't using a 2500 or AGS+ anymore, or at least
not getting a full routing table on them.
Is bgp dampening really necessary anymore? Obviously we should
dampen people that flap a high number of times in an hour, but the vast
majority of the internet operates in a state where dampening causes more
pain than benifit, imho.
