It isn't quite the individuals who are having problems maintaining a single 
RIB with IGP routes, it looks like the software is having trouble keeping 
its sanity. Seeing that it took ~ 12 months to track down some iBGP 
withdrawl bugs and a single fence post error in an AS path sanity check 
took down a significant portion of the internet, I suggest perhaps one must 
first put ones own house in order before going out and throwing stones at 
others.
