The original intent was that each router have a unique ID, this is how other
vendors do it. Cisco allows the router to have a BGP ID and an OSPF ID, I
consider THIS a bug. But instead of fixing the bug they created another
[undocumented] "rule" (so they can make more money on service/training or maybe
because the fix would have required too much work/risk or [God-knows]).
