Interesting. A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, where I was a
JTAC engineer, policy was that once a PR was hit in the field, it
would be marked public.

Also, in the case that I described it wasn't a Junos device. Makes me
wonder how bugs like that get introduced. One would expect that after
20+ years of writing BGP code, handling a withdrawl would be
easy-peasy.

New code, new features, new problems. E.g. public PR1323306 describes a BGP stuck situation. (And the fixed code should address as well a - hidden - PR, which causes down/stale sessions, leading to stuck routes even without a both-side GRES event). All very, very special cases ... but some of us will find / get hit by them (unfortunately).
