None of this should be construed as an opinion that BGP can't beimproved or that it will scale infinitely. But "BGP will stopworking ... can't converge" is overly pessimistic.

But don't you think we should stop putting more features into BGPlike VPN stuff and multicast routing? That would be taking us fasterin the pessimistic direction.
