Thanks for the kind words :)

FWIW, Bird supports dynamic configuration reload and even globbing in
the interface config, so this comes for free with the babel
implementation. However, while I plan to spend the time over the
holidays to get my patches in a state for another upstream submission,
there's a few more things needed for it to on feature parity with
babeld; the main sticking point is dual-stack operation, which depends
on Bird gaining this feature...
