Agreed, that's the price of having two distinct link-sensing mechanisms.

Things are meant to be so the network will survive desynchronisation
between the two protocols:

  - HNCP up, Babel down => numbered link not used for transit;
  - HNCP down, Babel up => unnumbered link used for transit.

If either of these causes problems in your network, then something is
wrong, and I'm interested in knowing more.
