One thing.. the OP was asking about anyone using Vyatta for BGP. Using Vyatta for BGP doesn't necessarily mean the Vyatta unit is actually a device forwarding the packets... someone could be using it as a route server, or for otherwise populating forwarding tables of other devices with third-party next hops :-)
I would expect a properly configured Vyatta running as a route server to be pretty darn near zortch-proof, no? (Barring BGP packet-o-death issues of course - but is there a router vendor who *hasn't* had at least 2 or 3 of those? ;)
