Yes, SLURM, defined in RFC8416, provides a means of expressing local
policy exceptions. All the RP implementations in common use (that I am
aware of) support it.

However...

We have had discard-invalid policy in production on every eBGP adjacency
since April 2019.

In that time, we have had *zero* incidents that could not be resolved
without the creation of local exceptions. My understanding from
colleagues at other operators is that their experience has been similar.

As always, your experience may be different, so it is wise to be
prepared.

Cheers,

Ben
