This feels like a potentially dangerous feature request being hidden as a field-critical bugfix. I have some concern that rushing it into a 2.7.2 release is as likely to bite us because someone else didn't realize it would affect them and when they upgrade something will break.

There are things like tracking the "next table route id". And if a given deployment has been adding routes directly, then we will be interacting with their rules. (I guess hopefully they wouldn't add source routing in MAAS if they were setting source routing directly)

There are also questions of things like "what platforms support this". I'd be much more comfortable with "this is high priority, and needs to preempt some of our existing roadmap" than "push out a critical fix as fast as possible".
