Hi

Forgot to answer, sorry. The opaque mode was removed, it has some
inherent problems and limited applicability. We plan to make some
generalized pipe in the future, but for today you could stick with
the BGP hack (from the internal POV it has an advantage that it is
asynchronous, while pipe route propagation was synchronous).
