Do you envision that the CPE runs OSPFv3 or something else? Would that
scale? I am not an OSPF expert, but thousands of CPEs in an OSPF domain
does not sound like a sane thing.

What is the advantage? The prefix has been assigned to the CPE. If the CPE
does not advertise the prefix it just goes to the null route. What is the
use case where you want a prefix assigned to a CPE but _not_ routed to the
same CPE?

I do agree that there is something missing here, but I prefer a solution
that does not require the CPE to be changed.
