MPLS VPN design - RR in forwarding path?

Hi everyone,I'm reading Randy's Zhang BGP Design and Implementation and I found following guidelines about designing RR-based MPLS VPN architecture:
- Partition RRs - Move RRs out of the forwarding path - Use a high-end processor with maximum memory - Use peer groups - Tune RR routers for improved performance.Since the book is a bit outdated (2004) I'm curious if these rules still apply to modern SP networks. What would be the reasoning behind keeping RRs out of the forwarding path? Is it only a matter of performance and stability?
Thanks, Marcin
