Mike, Unless you run CCR for your bgp routers, you can't say they don't work. We've been running bgp on our network for 3+ years with CCR's and it works. Convergence time is slower than a $50k Juniper sure but it doesn't affect us badly.
Traffic flows smoothly and the only time it really takes time to converge is when we update firmware on the Tiks twice a year during our maintenance windows. When it's not downloading full tables the other 99.99% of the year, they move plenty of traffic happily without any performance issues.
