[Speaking as an individual contributor.]

Prepending has been around for ages and it's well understood at this point in 
how it behaves.

An older version of the grow prepending document was nicely clear as to why 
excess prepending was problematic.  From that perspective, the document was 
useful.  More recent versions of the document have muddied its clarity.

I don't find it needful that BGP protocol documents reference this document in 
particular.
