gated is one of those pieces of software that should _never_ be installed by default. It is for people who already exactly know what they are doing _only_. Someone who needs to ask what gated is does not need it, period.
This is a permanent gripe to distribution maintainers of any kind. For some years now SysV and other OSs ship with a "routed" installed and activated by default. Put several of those boxes on a network and have only one of them slightly misconfigured, and everything gets messed up...
