medium-long term, community based route-server filtering has no future. 
There will be two reasons for its demise: it cannot easily accommodate 
asn32 and it does not allow predetermined filtering and hence sane 
loc-rib instance management.

i would add decades of bad anecdotes where the data plane is not
congruent with the control plane.  in general, when plane N is not
congruent with plane N+1, management and debugging are problematic.
