If this is true, it's very distressing. Drafts are deleted after
about six months. That means that any implementations will be based
on a no longer existing specification. That's wrong in so many ways.

I think I only felt the need to do this a handful of times over the
last decade, but it's generally difficult to position tcpdump such
that it will intercept the eBGP traffic.
(It's easier if tcpdump is implemented on your router, of course.)
