I totally agree.  And people can always resurrect it from the
repository history or an old tarball if they wish.

Patches are needed for the driver to use that code. So its not entirely
dead code i.e it is referenced from fastroute enabled drivers.
Sample (really old) code found at:
http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ftp.inr.ac.ru/ip-routing/fastroute/

Actually the opposite...  the driver infrastructure is pretty much in 
place.  It's the core IPv4 routing code that no longer does what people 
think :)

grep for RTCF_FAST in 2.4.x and then in 2.6.x...
