I agree the three choises are not clear enough but i think also yes|no| poisoned is not the better wording we can choose. In fact if i read "split-horizon yes" it is not immediately clear that it is simple split horizon with no poisoned reverse. Instead we committed a diff that changes them into: none, simple, poisoned. > btw, why is "no" default? most networks will only benefit from "yes" or > poison-reverse.

Thanks for spotting out this issue michele
