Speaking as WG member:

From a technical standpoint, I don’t have a problem with the addition of the 
flooding signaling (though I’m not fond of the prunner/zero prunner 
terminology). 

The existing area leader election and flooding algorithm selection 
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-lsr-dynamic-flooding/) was 
originally targeted at centralized flooding reduction. While it has been made 
to work for distributed flooding reduction, electing an area leader is not 
needed. Rather, the described one-hop signaling is all that is needed to assure 
correct operation and more suited to distributed flooding reduction algorithms. 

Thanks,
Acee
