[quagga-users 15013] Re: [quagga-dev 16747] Re: Quagga 1.2.4 and Quagga 1.1.0 RIP metric 20 issue

This is because of the commit 4d3ae716ce86c28e3979c9ae57c4e717ac5e27e4
which intentionally removed metric when installing the routes into the
kernel.

I agree metric is still useful in FIB routes, in some special cases.
If it is a valid concern for you, I guess you may revert the change
for your own usage.
