As it isn't removed, I think it will be removed in the 05 version

You're correct, but a real description for broadcast networks with more then 2 
routers are also not really descriibed, but I'm fine with the answer.

I'm now able to understand the intention of the use case, but I think it's a 
bit far fetched to use it as a real example.

In my opinion where an ISP is providing L3 VPN's with CE-PE links with OSPF 
could use it to move traffic from that link in case of maintenance as the 
customer router would also shift the traffic and not only the PE router, how the 
interaction between OSPF and BGP is in that case should be outside the scope, 
but it should be nearer the real world use case.

Another use case where it would be usable without problems should be where the 
ISP is providing an ospf sham link (RFC4577).
It allows the isp to reroute the traffic from the pe undergoing maintenance for 
the customer in both directions, while only configuring it on one pe.

An additional example would be where a customer could remove the traffic from 
all spokes if the hub router (or hub router link) is undergoing maintenance, 
as it only requires the configuration on the hub and not all spokes.
