Amazing. For years, I unsuccessfully try to spark discussions. Then I say that we're done and THAT sparks discussions. ;-)

There's this thing called NIMROD that has been proposed to replace it.

I agree that some security needs to be deployed. I'm not convinced that it needs to be BGPSEC. We've muddled along for many years and never found the gumption to actually deploy anything. Must not be important to people. I don't get it, but that's the observable behavior. In any case, this doesn't seem like a research topic. This is pretty clearly an engineering issue.
