  Partition repair (accepting your AS in the path exactly once) can be
  configured but should not be the default.  If you have an agreement
  with your provider to do partition repair, then configure it.

Which is precicely what the BGP specification allows one to do, and if
you have out-of-band information to eliminate static routing loops, have
a party.
