Hey Mark, I am here. At 10364 we have 7 network people, 3 of whom have an understanding of BGP deeper than surface level. We have 3 peers and 2 transit providers total. When we go to implement external-facing BGP policy, the #1 concern is "What are most people doing?". When we turn up a session with a peer or provider (which we will be doing much more frequently in the near future), it would be really wonderful if they could say "We support RFCXXXX-style communities" and we would know what that means. And if RFCXXXX exists then we will implement it when it's needed, just like we do no-export. I don't spend all day on BGP and so I like to defer to people who have learned from the "school of hard knocks" where possible. The last thing we want to do is to have a nonstandard or difficult-to-understand policy or configuration, because there are only 3 total people who could possibly understand it, and all of us have many, many other job responsibilities so we basically have to "page it back in" every time we go to look at it. The ideal situation is that we can google "RFCXXXX-compliant config" and get something that helps us get in line with best practices as smoothly as possible.
So if your peer or provider sent you a link to a web site where they published all of their support BGP communities, you'd find that onerous to deploy across them?
