Ok good.

That patch is hard to make legitimate, I'd have to do a bit or work
before we could realize that change.

We can only combine the LOCAL and MAIN tables like that so long as
there are no overlaps in the routes covered by the two tables.  We'd
also have to be sure to report the routes properly in dumps too.

I really wish we had never segregated these two tables, it's
completely pointless and hurts performance.  But now we have to
accomodate this legacy.
