That's plausible. I think it is important to realize that /etc/examples/ isn't a collection of "examples", so much as it is starting-points that people modify to get going. For some subsystems, bgp in particular, the knowledge required to participate properly is too rich, and since the manual pages comment on details and pieces rather than practical guidance, examples/bgpd.conf needs to be a great starting point for copy & edit. Anytime we see a friction against using it as a starting point, we should figure out a way to make it better.
