Not all kernel versions support routing. And I'd hate to duplicate existing 
kernel functionality in oFono user-space forever just for 2.6.31 (long term 
support is 2.6.32 by the way). There's probably two users in the entire world 
who care about the 2.6.31 + USB CDC Phonet + oFono - phonet-utils combination.

Not to mention that it is done in a much cleaner and compact way in kernel 
space. Also this would prevent me or someone else from ever improving the 
Phonet (auto)configuration later, which is certainly on my roadmap.
