Erm, because it's an open standard and in general it is better to use
standards based protocols instead of proprietary ones in
implementation........

In all honesty, when I was fiddling with it, I found it easier to
configure bsr than auto-rp and it seems to settle down quicker and
propogate faster and was plenty stable enough for me.

Each to his own, but I generally prefer to use open standards on any
designs I do, or infrastructures that I'm configuring. Cisco tends to
bring out propriotry bits (I'm thinking igrp/eigrp/isl etc) and then
angle towards the open standards - think ospf/bgp/dot1q. I know that in
the vast majority of the labs that I was practicing with, there was more
ospf than eigrp. Also, there is no EIGRPv6 yet(!)
