The application I developed it for. Being able to take down routers in a
staged way that allowed me to have confidence that if anything was going
to break it would break while the router was still reachable. (VPN
routers in branch offices).
The "no-transit" way ensures that. It never occurred to me that some
might still want transit (why bother with a 'special' metric value, if
it wasn't actually meant to be special? just add any large value to all
the links for that).
The OSPF WG is actually standardising behaviour for that. It's useful
enough they've re-allocated a previously allocated and very precious
OSPF option bit for it.
