Hi

The limitation is here because most routing protocols require an IP
address on interface to function properly, so to keep it simple,
interface without IP address is considered effective down. It is not
necessary for static routes, but the limitation is in the common code
for all protocols.

Note that we removed the limitation in BIRD 2.0
