Well, most likely MD5 is better than the alterantive today which is
to run no authentication/encryption at all.
But we should push whoever is developing these standards to go for
SHA-1 or equivalent instead of MD5 in the longer term.
Who is working on this? I don't find anything here:
http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/idr-charter.html
All I can find is:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2385.txt
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3562.txt
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4278.txt
Nothing on replacing MD5 for BGP.
