It doesn't matter -- the old prefix is no longer applied to the link, so
in order to route to the hosts with the old addresses, I'll need to
install host routes.  And if I install them, I might as well announce them
over the routing protocol -- it's actually less code than filtering them
out.

I guess it could be done, but I'm not sure what consequences it would
have, especially if the old prefix is reused by a different link.
