Policy-routing.txt is  completely deprecated.  I started  rewritting a
summary of policy-routing stuff but didn't have time to finish.

Well, actually, from what I understand (ANK, correct me if I'm wrong),
"main" and  "default" have little  significance (and even not  at all)
anymore. You  can even delete them  and put your own  tables. The only
one that you cannot remove is the "local" table.

I'm not sure but this would break the "route" command.
