But iproute2 seems to still support it? At least it's listed in
rtnl_rtntype_a2n().

The entry for RTN_NAT in net/ipv4/fib_semantics.c though looks like just
a stub. But at least it hasn't changed since the beginning of Git.
According to ip-route.8 it's indeed non-functional.

I only concerned help text and man page consistency, and since the man
page lists it (with a useful hint about it's state), the help text
should contain it either. Or do you think that's misleading?

Thanks, Phil
