Thank you. But what exactly necessitates devine leniency?

You aren't taking my remarks to mean that it's a good idea to redistribute
a full BGP view into an IGP, are you? What I'm getting at is a small setup
where all transit and peering links are in the same location. The border
routers at this location can inject a default into the IGP so the number
of routes in the non-border routers stays nice and small.
