DAE think that the whole "BGP is broken!" argument is a bit overblown?
If you're going to have a bunch of autonomous systems/networks operating together, with no central authority, it necessarily comes down to trust and relationships.
Shit will occasionally happen. It's important to look at outages, figure out the cause, and work to prevent it. Perhaps, though, this is a best practices issue, and not some fundamental flaw in BGP.

I don't know what you were doing. But trust me, it's the only way you can do security, it's the only way you can do development."
