	I agree. This is not a specification issue, but rather a
best-practice based on the application for which the protocol is used.
If you only need the loopbacks as FECs for your application, then it is
best if you _ask_ LDP to only redistribute the loopbacks, because it will
make your network easier to troubleshoot.
