>Description:
	route.8 man page says that -q flag all suppress output.
	That's plain wrong: 'route -q add' and 'route -q delete'
	produces output.
 
>How-To-Repeat:
	route -q add 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
	route -q delete 10.0.0.1
 
>Fix:
	Workaround: use redirection to /dev/null

	Fix: route(8) source code is very inconsistent in sense of
	suppressing out. It's much simple to remove -q flag (make it noop)
	and fix man page than reimplement suppressing of output and
	keep error messages at the same time as it writes some errors to
	stdout instead of stderr.
