Jeff, I was not bringing RIFT's negative routies example as something inherently negative. I was just pointing it out to illustrate that today's data plane lookup does not really support "if does not match" checks.
So if you intend to use unreachable prefixes in data plane as result you need to break summary into as atomic prefixes as your unreachable advertisement mask. Hence my recommendation to use IGP to flood unreachable only for the purpose of control plane (namely BGP paths invalidation). Cheers, R.
