Amen to that.

I've played around with the various loopback strategies, including
using a gre tunnel that originates/terminates on the same PE. It
worked, but didn't seem like a scalable solution.

The conclusion I came to is that most MPLS scenarios assume you are
using a separate PE/firewall to move traffic between global and vrfs
(and probably even inter-vrf.)

It would be great to have a simple global-vrf route exchange feature though.
