Sometimes it is not easy to predict when committing a complicated set of
changes will result in the automatic reset of a BGP session, or the
automatic soft clearing of a BGP session, or even the automatic restart of
rpd (renames, inserts, group changes, any of a multitude of knobs). It
would be nice if there was a way to get a little warning as to how bad 
your flapping is going to be, perhaps with a command to test the proposed 
configuration similar to commit check?

Just a thought. :)
