I don’t think that contrack based mangle rules work, though. If it does, it must be a recent fix (I’m on ROS7.1)

7.x is still effectively in beta, there are many features that don't work yet, last time I checked neither multicast nor bfd were working.

There is a chart with 7.x routing protocol statuses available here[1].

the idea that somebody thought to ship to production release a router operating system with broken bfd is amazing.

Well, they didn't - not really at least.

7.1 is only required on their brand new router targeted at enthusiast home users. The RB5009, which specifically says it's targeting home labs and explicitly came with the caveat of 7.1 being the minimum version and there is no LTS in the 7.x branch as-of yet. This is the only product that requires the 7.x branch.

Everything else ships with 6.48.x LTS or 6.49.x Stable. Nearly all serious users are using the LTS branch. The 7.x branch is well known within the RouterOS community to not be "production" ready... although that's where new features and stuff are going. It will be, one day.
