think of policy routing not as a route, but as a policy. :)
policy routing can't be redistributed into a routing protocol because
it has granularity that routing protocols don't, like source address,
protocol type, and all that other stuff you can match with an acl.
Never mind the fact that policy routing is locale-specific, and may
make less than no sense when somehow distributed to neighbors...
