The use case is the current default behaviour if we don't make this flag on by default then we'll change user-visible default behaviour. Right now we flood unregistered mcast traffic by default (if there's no querier and router port, which continues to function as before). Also we have the port flags equal to BR_AUTO_MASK by default.
