The "problem" you refer to is the broken routed code. Gated is no
"bandaid", but the recommended "fix". Since gated is routing for the
interior network now (and quite well I might add), and routed has been
eliminated from the system, I'd say chances of the problem popping up
again are pretty damned slim :)
