Maybe an intended change from the net stack?
I didn't see anything in the NEWS when updating in the last couple of months and I only realized this recently, so I wonder where this change is documented. After all, this will break loads of custom scripts fetching the gateway address from the last line of the output of route. Not that these scripts shouldn't be improved to at least search for ^0\.0\.0\.0 instead, which will still break since I suppose multiple default gateways get sorted in the "wrong" order now too... Any idea where to ask how this change came to be, or which package to report a bug against?
