[c-nsp] Replacing route policies in IOS XR

you only have two options:
1) replace the "whole thing" when you do this within the "config" mode
(you'll get a warning that the full policy will be replaced)
2) edit selective part of it using the built-in editor ("edit
route-policy ...")

If I recall correctly, both will eventually do a full replace (if you
check "show conf commit changes .."), the latter is just looks more
incremental :-)
