Subject: iproute2 / question: returncode when query a match

when executing e.g.:

root@box:~ ip route list exact '0.0.0.0/0'
default via 10.63.42.125 dev eth0.2  metric 2 onlink 
root@box:~ echo $?
0
root@box:~ ip route list exact '0.0.0.0/8'
root@box:~ echo $?
0

i expected an RC of != 0 when there is no match.
is this by design?

root@box:~ ip -V
ip utility, iproute2-ss4.0.0-1-openwrt

bye, bastian
