take a look at "BGP Event-Based VPN Import" feature doc
(http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/ios_xe/iproute_bgp/configuration/gu
ide/irg_event_vpn_import_xe.html)
The most important change is that there is no periodic import scanner
any longer, so vrf import is much faster. finally :-)

Yes.. "maximum-paths ibgp 1 import 2" would also be equivalent.

a global setting for all vrfs would be nice, indeed. unfortunately not
there (yet?).
