A lot of these commands (like install/receive etc) are used in situations
where you setup a defaults section with the opposite action. For example,
with no defaults section, receive may be the default action. However, if
you setup a static defaults section with no-receive in it, the receive
option can then be used to override this on a particular route.
Consider

static
defaults
no-install
route
10.0.0.0/8 discard
11.0.0.0/8 discard
12.0.0.0/8
discard
