Correct.

To make it into the IXP Manager distribution (if that's your intention) 
would requires that the CLA [1] be signed and near feature parity with 
the existing Bird configs (specifically: secure by default):

Peter Hessler of OpenBGPd has also expressed an interest in working on this.

v4 now also includes a looking glass using Birdseye. Non-Bird route 
servers would not be supported for this either BUT we've written the LG 
implementation so that it's backend agnostic.

I specifically had GoBGP in my mind here as they have a super API 
interface but we just need to see it used in production as route servers 
for a while before spending time on it.
