This is all done by correctly configured routing daemon
running in userland over the route socket.  Only being
doing that for 25+ years that way, why suddenly does the
kernel need to over ride what has already been done and
working? 

If you say it is cause of its harder to filter, then
you are breaking everyone else cause you dont want to
do something right yourself.
