Hi Job, Authors,
(feedback as contributor to the Grow Working Group)
I like the document and I have a comment: it explains very well why
extended communities should be replaced by large communities in the
context of Route Servers; it doesn't spend a word, though, in saying why
standard communities should stay in as an alternative especially since
at some point it says "virtually all BGP implementations have adopted
this standard", talking about large communities.

Dear all,
As authors we'd like to start moving towards WGLC, but before doing so
we'd like to ask the working group for a round of feedback.
The goal is to discourage Extended communities *** at IXP RS ***
and encourage Large Communities through an IETF BCP.
Please read the document with fresh eyes and tell us whether the
structure of the document in the right direction!
Feedback can be send via email or via github pull-requests:

Kind regards,

work item of the Global Routing Operations (GROW) WG of the IETF.
Title: Guidance to Avoid Use of BGP Extended Communities at Internet
Exchange Route Servers
Authors: Job Snijders

Name: draft-ietf-grow-ixp-ext-comms-02.txt
Pages: 6
Dates: 2025-06-01
Abstract:
This document outlines a recommendation to the Internet operational
community to avoid the use of BGP Extended Communities at Internet
Exchange Point (IXP) Route Servers. It includes guidance for both
the Internet Service Provider side peering with Route Servers and
IXPs operating Route Servers. This recommendation aims to help the
global Internet routing system's performance and help protect Route
Server participants against misconfigurations. This document updates
RFC 7948.
