It's not really a routing protocol -- it only installs blackhole routes
and routes to directly connected prefixes, so it's unlikely to cause
routing pathologies.

And it's supposed to distribute random configuration information.  I'll
remark, while I'm at it, that the only place DHCP data can be advertised
is in the EXTERNAL-CONNECTION TLV, so there's currently no way to announce
e.g. "I'm a SIP proxy server" without announcing an external connection.

(Everyone relax -- I'm not implementing SIP in shncpd.)

That would be fine with me.
