It would be better to have -d as a default, I was afraid of breaking
scripts of people sedding and awking around with the iproute output.

Stephen should make this call, I'm not sure what guarantees he wants
to provide. I just remembered one of my previous jobs where a large
number of scripts had to be changed because iproute started using
lower case letters in some spots, and I had to do it :)
