Hi Pekka: Redirect is almost useless on non-transitive links (NBMA) at large, not only P2P. Radios being non-transitive, you'll see more and more of those beasts. And a radio router usually uses only radios. So there's a whole family of routers that have strictly no use of redirect. If we decide to must something, I would thus associate the MUST to the categories of interface that the router supports.
