Do and of the stacks support TCP-AO?  I think that should be a requirement
since that is the replacement for TCP-MD5.  And though TCP-MD5 is officially
depricated giving the nature of how slowly TCP-AO has rolled out it would
probably be a good idea to have continued support for TCP-MD5 in all stacks
(this is not a hard thing to implement) until TCP-AO is more widely deployed. 
Most of my BGP peers have a fall back stance to TCP-MD5 if you can't do TCP-AO.
