Removing routed from the ifconfig and ping man pages may be a mistake. 
Maybe we should replace the wording to say something about some daemon that 
may alter the routing table, such as routed or other example. Removing 
references to some daemon altering the routing table may cause confusion as 
routing tables are changed unbeknownst a sysadmin trying to grok a 
situation that is impacting routing.

We can discuss this in the phabricatior review. Just putting it out here as 
a heads up.
