Does this mean that bgpd and ospfd can happily co-exist on the same box ?
As an example:
Prefix A shows up in BGP, later it shows up in OSPF,
even later it is withdrawn from OSPF. Will the prefix in BGP now be in the
fib ?
OSPF being the winner is not optimal in my case, but being predictable
is good enough.

Being able to redist BGP->OSPF and not connecting ospfd to the fib would
do what I want. Unfortunately the manpage for ospfd.conf doesn't seem to
support
this setup.
fib-update (yes|no)
If set to no, do not update the Forwarding Information Base,
a.k.a. the kernel routing table. The default is yes. Setting
fib-update to no will implicitly set the stub router option to
ensure that no traffic tries to transit via this router.
