I like this question. It seems to ponder the worth of a command based on the assumption that the command only exist to serve a purpose other than a real world application. Will an ISP ever need to redistribute bgp routes into the routing table of any IGP? Well like so much in Internetworking, it depends. But to take away something based solely on an assumption and perhaps a limited view from your side of the world makes no sense. In short the flexability should stay. Used or not, options are always good to have. Just my 4cents (adjusted for inflation)
