I think the fundamental problem here is that these fixes are
attempting to make the symptoms less pronounced, rather than address
the problem.

I view the problem as desync of software and hardware state, we can
advertise BGP route and attract traffic, even though we have not
actually programmed that state to hardware.
There should be inherent guarantee that what we claim is true in HW. I
can accept that it takes time, that's separate problem.

I'm sure JNPR has the talent needed to fix this, but it might be more
scary fix with wider impact on the infrastructure than management is
ready to sign off.
