If we are talking about eBGP, then pulling routes makes sense. If we
are talking about iBGP and controlled environment, you should never
pull anycast routes, because eventually you will have failure mode,
where the check mechanism itself is broken, and you'll pull all
routes.
If instead of pulling the routes, you make them inferior, you are
covered for the failure mode of check itself being broken.
