I agree.  But if you turn off WIDEn-N on a digi, why not put
somthing useable in its place for special needs.
Im *not* saying that people should then routinely *use*
such area-wide paths, but having them will faciliitate area
wide comunications when needed.

The universal recommendation for users is to use a 1 or
to hop path routinely and ignore these fancy SSn-N
and LINKn-N paths except on those rare ocasions when
needed.  Then they are nice to have..
