They're not the sole provider with a hole in their routing table, nor is
that the only hole. I would probably choose not to single home behind
any nominally SFI carrier, but on the other hand how useful such carrier
is in the first place has a lot to do with can they offload the traffic
you choose to send them, which is a different problem and should be
assessed accordingly.
