[AusNOG] Microtik bgp issues

[Joseph Goldman]

ROS7 is when these improvements will come. Only slight improvements 
making it into ROS6. ROS7 *beta* is hoping to be released Q1 2015 at 
this rate, based on info from Janis in a support ticket I had with him.

I was thinking they were delaying the CCR1072 for ROS7 release together, 
but Janis confirmed CCR1072 will release with ROS6 :( WHy have 72 cores 
if can't use them all lol.
