I'm afraid you've missed the point.   In the VPN scenario, it doesn't do any
good to  run BGP in the  core, because the IP  header of the  packets do not
contain the information you need to match the packet to its route. 

Besides which you could never hope to hold all routes from all VPNs in every
core router anyway.
