So whatever they choose to advertise has the same impact - including clear, extending their own (self) alternative ttl via ma, etc.. now what they actually do is up to the implementation and whether it wants to distribute these routing decisions (and therefore probably use short ma that can be extended easily), or centralize them (let the alternatives expire once in a while and have the default-origin make a new decision).. both are reasonable approaches.
