Well, it's a bit more like:

...and I notice he keeps missing incidentally, which is funny, 'cause he
was sold to me as an elephant-killer...

Sure, i'm convinced I don't want to run routed.  But it is still broken, or
badly documented.  I am beginning to think the answer is:

You don;t want to run routed, trust me.

If you *really* want to run routed, then you probably want to run gated, so
don't blame us if routed is broken.
