Can't we assume bird1 will go away eventually? Or why don't those people convert json to their required format -- make it their problem? > However, I'm not sure if the current options -B, -c, -j and -o are that > great. Maybe something like "-o <bird1|bird2|csv|json|openbgpd>" would be > more powerful and more flexible? The idea is you can specify many outputs. That will make the commandline very long, especially for the way we run it in cron.
