I have a question: What is then `check link` supposed to do?
At least for 1.6, babel is the only protocol which enables it by default, and the others, for in example direct, static, and ospf it is needed to be set by the user, and I would have assumed exactly that behavior.
`check link` does not seem to exist for the kernel protocol. It could be an option, but IMO, this is a separate issue: a route the kernel won't use shouldn't be used by BIRD either, so the check for the "dead" flag should be done in all cases. -- Don't stop at one bug. - The Elements of Programming Style (Kernighan & Plauger)
