To be truthful, the RVIA flag idea is a more technically sound proposal than a 
zone-wide routelist.

If there exists a typo in the zone-wide list, entire nets of dozens of people 
can be cut off. If an RVIA flag is borked, the person responsible will be cut 
off, and his downlinks/net members can proceed to lambast him accordingly.

That's hos heirarchal internetworking technology is supposed to work; everybody 
responsible for their segment and below it. Providing a single failing point at 
a primary convergance zone is always a mistake, and will only lead to chaos and 
headaches.
