Why wouldn't you want to propogate BH routes?  If you want to BH the
traffic, then let it be dumped closer to the source.  You might
accidentally make things exciting for yourself, but it seems like
desirable behavior to me.

Since BH routes tend to be more specific, most are unlikely to be
propogated very far anyhow.

I think that the security concern lies far more in the lack of origin
validation [with rfc7908 usw.].
