Not really for compatibility, its the numerical values that matter. iproute hasn't been changed to use the FRA_* attributes for routing rules, but it might be a good idea to do this before adding the next RTA_* attribute since RTA_FWMASK doesn't have any meaning for routes in the kernel, so the next RTA attribute we add could just use the same value instead of leaving a hole.
