Definitely agree Theo. Our topology is less than ideal just to ensure
we have OSPF's fast convergence changing the nexthops of our intra-AS
routers for what are otherwise BGP routes.
Whilst people say bird 1.4 supports BFD, BIRD is generally used on
Linux route servers (not forwarding traffic), and OpenBGPD is mostly
used on OpenBSD routers which are forwarding traffic (imho).
Cheers, Andy.

There is also a GSoC project to get BFD into OpenBSD. So if a student is
interested in working on that that would be an oportunity.
Honestly, I think many people are building hacks because they lack a
carefully-integrated BFD. If we had it, it would not solve fair-share
problems, but it would solve many other cases.
I am baffled noone has stepped up with something yet, GSoC or otherwise.
