I have no argument that this is what the platform should do, I'm just
saying that operator using (assigning) more specific than /88 is not going
to be happy, so it makes sense to just not use more specific than /88.
What you're doing, is using more specific but you're making sure that
security posture is same inside the /88 (or in this case /64).
