Garbage collection of unused dynamic BGP neighbours

Hi

Is it possible to garbage collect unused dynamic BGP neighbours?

In my environment, these come and go because the dynamic BGP neighbours
are themselves quite dynamic (orchestrated containers that get a new IP
address every time they are updated or restarted).

This causes BIRD to accumulate non-Established «dynbgpN» protocol
instances.

I would like to get rid of them. Ideally the protocol instance would
have vanished  by itself the moment it exited the Established state,
but since that does not happen, I am hoping there might be a way of
deleting them manually (e.g., with birdc)?

Tore
