I have no idea.  We're just exploring the space of possible solutions
right now -- hey, it's not like we've had a lot of operational
experience with source-specific routing yet.  We're playing with
things, and looking what breaks.

Things break.  We make sure things break as gracefully as possible.
Then we'll need to ask ourselves whether we want to support such
hybrid topologies in the first place.

(My gut instinct is to agree with you -- we'll probably want to forbid
hybrid networks --, but I'm keeping an open mind until we learn more.)
