Likely depends on the size of ISP and size of core! :) Everyone should do
whatever makes the most sense to them. And realize that there are a LOT of
messed up networks in the world that still manage to "work" just fine!

Not that I am aware, @least the Tier I SP's still run IBGP in the core.

Has any of the ISP's completely stopped running any BGP in their core and
running only MPLS + IGP there?
