Right.

I think that we'd want them all anyway, but if course, we'd get anything else
under ace. (other than est and brski).

Understood, thank you for the fix.

Yes, exactly.

I also agree.
In my opinion the only reason to do this discovery is to enable multicast RD,
such as I think that brski-ae really wants to do.
