THE hole RTD_BLACKHOLE-thingy was read-only before, right? I remember
that I tried this in the first place but something in the
documentation stopped me at some point.
So, in the future, RTD_BLACKHOLE plus a high preference would prevent
the bogon routes to be overwritten if someone announces them
accidentally.

Nice feature, I'll give it a try as soon as it shows up in bird's debian repo.
