Because some sites have a small limited number of networks that do not change
very often.  Why take up a process slot with Routed in this situation?  Instead,
you would run Routed in "chatter mode" on gateways nodes and use the '-h' for
nongateway nodes.  Note that this scenario buys you the grace of not maintaining
static route tables.
