Last Call Review of draft-ietf-mpls-deprecate-bgp-entropy-label-01

I have reviewed this document as part of the security directorate's ongoing
effort to review all IETF documents being processed by the IESG.  These
comments were written primarily for the benefit of the security area directors.
 Document editors and WG chairs should treat these comments just like any other
last call comments.

This draft deprecates a BGP attribute. The security considerations section says
that attacks on the attribute require the attacker to be part of the control
plane, where they can do many other things, and this is not significantly
changed by deprecating the attribute (actually, it doesn’t say precisely that,
but I think that’s what it implies).

I’m not a routing expert, but that sounds right to me. I see no issues with
this draft.
