I think you are mixing up 6.3 code with docs for -current, this was changed mid-June: https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-cvs&m=152888243922828&w=2 There have been big changes in bgpd since 6.3, there are now methods to give a simpler/clearer configuration, and some big improvements in performance especially when using some of the newer config. These are ongoing, especially this week as a network-focussed hackathon is currently taking place. If you aren't quite happy with how things work in 6.3 (especially for performance when filtering is used), I'd strongly recommend re-evaluating with -current in a week or so.
