I used to be a quality control engineer in my career, so I have a
question to ask from the perspective of a QC guy:  what is the Best
Practice for minimizing, if not totally preventing, this sort of
problem?  Is there a "cookbook" answer to this?

(I only run edge networks now, and don't have BGP to worry about.  If my
current $dayjob goes away -- they all do -- I might have to get back
into the BGP game, so this is not an idle query.)

Somehow "just be careful and clueful" isn't the right answer.
