I believe this is because of the BGP auto-detection of sites. My guess 
is the logic actually runs up the numbers to range, so defining it to 
something reasonable speeds up the setup process.

I'm still waiting on power for my lab to test vpls w/ BGP signalling, as 
it might screw up my production network and I'd like to see if I can 
shift to l2 signaling without dropping the peers. :)
