Opinions on Arista for BGP?

Hi all, would love to get any current opinions (on or off list) on the stability of Arista’s BGP implementation these 
days.  Been many years since I last looked into it and wasn’t ready for a change yet.  Past many years have been IOS XR 
on NCS5500 platform and Arista everywhere but the edge.  I’ve been really happy with them in the other roles, so am 
thinking about edge now.  I do like and use XR’s RPL, and prefix/as/community/object sets, but we can live without via 
our own config management if there aren’t easy equivalents.  No fancy needs at all, just small web server networks, so 
just need reliable eBGP and internal OSPF/OSPFv3.

Thanks,

David
