Requiring every user who wants to use FreeBSD PPP as a simple
single-user workstation with a dial-up ISP account, or even as a simple
router, to understand routing protocols and gated will guarantee that
many will just go elsewhere.
While I don't disagree with you about the capability of gated, losing
the simple routing capabilities of ppp would be a stupid move.
