We had some discussions on "which routes to tag, which routes to default,
and which tags to use for what" but in the end that's a matter of taste,
not functionality, so Arne gave up and +2'ed this "because it works".

This is considered a bugfix because the current behaviour just makes
--stale-routes-check break non-dynamic routes, thus, the feature can not
be used.

Your patch has been applied to the master and release/2.7 branch (bugfix).

Arguably the bug is in all older releases as well (from the looks it's 
"from day one" with p2mp server and --iroute support), but it's not a
critical security bug, and affects an option not many people use - so
upgrade your server to 2.7+ instead if this hits you :-)
