Thanks, Paolo, that's exactly what I meant.

I think we addressed both concerns I had with the new RFC and BIRD
daemon, and Eric did a good job optimising the crypto layer here, so
we are better with his patches than with my sentimental attachment to
extendability that so far is not really required by BGP. And if we
need to extend the list of algorithms, we will be able to do it on top
later.

Thanks again,
Dmitry
