That's an implementation issue and I'm sure the smart folk at Cisco 
could come up with some mechanism for dealing with it (eg keep the 
discarded routes compressed outside the RIB and FIB for reinsertion if 
needed for example).  This had been part of the original discussion and 
Rodney was chatting with some engineering type guys about options.
