Obviously reducing down the entire DFZ to a single default route is a =
bad case of premature optimization, which we all know is how so many =
engineering efforts get into trouble.
The right way to handle this would be for hosts to engage in both inter =
and intra domain routing with local routers, and then do their own =
aggregation if and when desired.
