<p>Yeah, it looks like this, and sadly, we don’t have such information
easily available for now.</p>
<p>Implementing this is in our backlog and we are basically overwhelmed
with other overdue tasks (like finalizing the multithreading, EVPN or
TCP-AO). It is expectable to get this somewhere around BIRD 3.2 or 3.3
(take me with a grain of salt please).</p>
<p>It is quite easy to expose <em>something</em> by some hacks but it
would mean polluting the filters and configuration by yet another
inconsistent feature which we then would have to maintain for much
longer than acceptable.</p>
