Just to be clear on this one -- I think that temporary re-introduction for 7.x 
is the right route (pun intended).  Right now we're at 7.0 BETA 3 and we don't 
have a working routing daemon.  Would it be possible for one of you (Bruce, 
Marko, ...?) to put together a candidate patch to reintroduce the old 
interface?  We can also update any appropriate man pages (if any) to indicate 
that the interface is deprecated and will be eliminated in a future release 
(8.0).
