One of the reasons why BGP as an IGP is "not enough" is that BGP is just
too slow to converge - if an internal line fails, and there is a backup
path to the site in question, I want that to be used in a few seconds, not
in minutes.
iBGP combined with EIGRP/OSPF/... can do this (put the loopbacks into IGP,
speak iBGP between loopback addresses), but iBGP alone won't.
