Well, there may be multiple places where RIP nexthops are matched against
connected prefixes. Perhaps, it's better to convert these checks conditional
rather than drop them, because coupling an open-minded RIP router with a
traditional one will likely create one-way routes. It would be interesting to
hear from someone who researched this matter thoroughly, but I barely can help
with that right now.
