If you have several clusters of route reflectors serving 
different regions, they need to peer with one another 
otherwise how will one part of your network know about the 
other?

The assumption here is that route reflector sessions to 
their clients are localized, and it does not make sense (or 
scale) to have every router have an iBGP session to every 
route reflector.
