Hi,

In my understanding it only removes abilities  to set remotely the route *software* (/sbin/route , whatever).
Something that: 
- I can't find a case why you may want to do such thing.
- Is an undocumented feature.

I haven't tested it but from quickly reading the code you still can
remotely change route after applying the patch.
