If the BGP is in a 'hardened' data center then its probability of going
down is greatly reduced over the random tunnel server running on a 20 year
old computer in somebody's basement.
You can multi-home BGP networks for higher reliability. It all depends on
how the network is engineered. This is a volunteer effort, with
distributed network design and management.
However, I think a truly useful network of Amateur Radio related
technologies is better served via high bandwidth infrastructure (99.99% of
the time). Ingenuity takes over for the rest (0.01%).
BGP'ed regional networks provide more portals into the larger Internet and
can support smaller networks via VPN and Tunnels.

I too would like to see a routed approach - all
this clumsy tunnelling
house of cards junk is never going to be reliable.
Seems to me it's the other way... With tunnel's, if one station goes
down all the other gateways persist. With the BPG routed system, the
gateway is another weak link in the routing chain. What happens if
the BPG gateway goes down - every station down stream is isolated.
I've heard there's provisions for alternate gateways - but is that
being used here?
The idea, that was mentioned here a few months ago, of tunnel gateways
dynamically rip (or ?) announcing their existence to fellow gateways
is intriguing..
