Why isn't this use case extendable to all edge OSPF routers, and not just
CE's? I would think the same reasoning would apply...

So -- if we are going to do this, we should specifically design it more like
a type 5, perhaps, or something with a very limited flooding scope to solve
the specific use case in hand, rather than in a way that encourages general
use...

Does this make sense?
