My 2c:
The obvious thing for me is if people are running a full ipv4 route table on a box only just capable of handling one 
single table of that size, then really now is the time to asses if you really need to hold that table or just drop to 
default +internal+peers. If you have multiple up streams and you are using the route tables to do your route selection 
then great, but that means you need at least 1M capability now, and really 2+ should be your target. In my experience 
people running a full table on a small capability box normally don't actually need to carry it, or they just need a 
bigger box.
