This is a good idea, if a bit of a gross and ugly hack at
one aspect of the problem (frequent flaps of one specific
set of prefixes).  There are also ways of helping out right
now that aren't dependent on implementation changes to
router software and are better general fixes for the sheer
number of flaps, imho.

Before calling it an ugly hack-  Have you read the proposal?
