|What do the big router implementers on this list

Well, Ross Callon has been quoted as saying that the Juniper implementation
will have no problems up through many millions of routes.

Now, conceptually, that could happen tomorrow.  However, at the current
growth rates, that's likely to be many years.  

If you believe this, then the issue is real and is strategic, not tactical.
We have the opportunity to Do It Right, and we should.
