Ack seems it could work for L3 MPLS VPN and Kompella pseudowires, you'd just
need to keep copy of everything from everyone's point of view. Didn't think
about it, but probably any interASN MPLS FRR would not work.

For me personally, in NNI, having multiple VLANs is not a problem, I get own
counters, QoS, ACL etc. Having BGP for each VLAN is a problem, as I may want
to support 1000 VLANs, which is easy, but 1000 BGP is hard.
If BGP could send VLAN in NLRI, then we'd only need 1 BGP session, and there
would be no security issue in VLAN forging, as that would simply hit
unconfigured logical interface.
