That seems logical, but that's not what I propose.

When a node requests a full dump, it requests only the routes it
understand, not really a full dump.  Sending a full dump may include
unsolicited updates.

When a node retracts all its routes, the receiver, which has only
considered the routes it understand, will only retracts these routes.

Of course, like wildcard requests, we can say that to be really
conservative, a wildcard retraction only retracts the routes defined
in 6126bis.  I see no use case for that.

To conclude, whatever we decide for wildcard requests, I suggest we
deprecate any-specific wildcard retractions.
