I must be missing something.  I thought the first duty of a routing
protocol was to avoid loops, even above maintaining reachability.
Are we really sure that accepting all but the noticeably bad routes
from a berserk neighbor would not cause loops?

Also, if we damp bgp routes, surely we should damp bgp sessions too?
There's no need to retry instantly.
