Mapping to multiple prefixes in fib has well defined semantics, such as
load balancing paths, as you mentioned. It is not clear the use cases for
mapping to multiple PIDs, and our current assignment to resolve the case
(e.g., 2d or 2e) may not provide the intended semantics (e.g., hash on IP
to achieve load balancing). Hence, I am still in the pushing-back mode for
simplicity...
