+Subject: core: don't fight with the kernel over the default IPv6 route
+
+The kernel wants there to be a default route over every RA-ed IPv6
+interface, and it gets confused and annoyed if we remove that default
+route and replace it with our own (causing it to effectively drop all
+further RAs on the floor, which is particularly bad if some of the
+information in the earlier RA had an expiration time).
+
+So, rather than replacing the kernel's default route(s), just add an
+additional one of our own, with a lower (ie, higher priority) metric.
