Protocol and Vendor agnostic yes , but people running production networks get nervous around "unsupported" (i.e. they can't call a number and get help right away). devices tied into their nets. Not saying it can't be done, but a lot of effort must be put in place to protect the Net from trouble.
What I'm saying is that the POPs would need to be run by truly competent personnel and configured to protect the Net from accidental or malicious configurations at the local gateway level.
When you start messing with routing on the Internet you HAVE to know what you are doing and trust your device not to do something stupid.
