Nonsense. If I want the computer to automatically install routes when I ifconfig an interface up, I'll do it in ifconfig -- it might be useful to have an option to big brother the kernel for people who want to tweak their networking, have written their own replacement for ifconfig, but who don't know enough about networking to add the proper routes.
