That's probably a good thing, given the amount of churn in
the global routing system it's unlikely any full Internet
BGP speakers receive [post Open Confirm] "keepalives"
anyways (i.e., if the implementations are optimized such
that normal updates are counted as keepalives).

Implementations would be well served by employing the End-of-
RIB Marker for this purpose (even if Graceful Restart's not
being used), assuming peers support it, else falling back to
some reasonable fixed timer (say 120 seconds) or Loc-RIB
size.
