[Bug 255264] Unable to add default route for fib

--- Comment #5 from Neal Nelson <ports at nicandneal.net> ---
The entry in /usr/src/UPDATING that has been pointed out to me explains the
situation a little better than the current message. I'm sure the current
message makes sense to those that know the ins and outs, but not those of us
not quite so well versed in the intricacies of network routing:

Default value of net.add_addr_allfibs has been changed to 0.
If you have multi-fib configuration and rely on existence of all
interface routes in every fib, you need to set the above sysctl to 1.

It's a bit wordy, but more helpful. If it's too wordy, a reference to the entry
in UPDATING could be made.

As a further suggestion; it might also be useful to add the entries from
UPDATING to the release notes. I found the entry there stating the change, but
it was of no use to me whatsoever as it didn't state the consequences of the
change. I realise that the release notes are rather long already, but I'm sure
that some method could be devised to auto include UPDATING entries.
