Subject: [PATCH iproute2-next 3/4] ip: remove routef script

From: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@...workplumber.org>

This script is old and limited to IPv4.
Using ip route command directly is better option.

-These programs are a set of helper scripts you can use instead of raw iproute2 commands.
-.br
-The routel script will list routes in a format that some might consider easier to interpret then the ip route list equivalent.
-.br
-The routef script does not take any arguments and will simply flush the routing table down the drain. Beware! This means deleting all routes which will make your network unusable!
