I would have a proposal to improve that RiP mechanism a little (if not already done).
The moment you delete a gw in the portal, it will stay in that state a little time to allow undelete. During that time, it would be useful to send it out in the RIP multicasts using a distance of 15, in RIP language meaning "unreacheable". In that case, long route persitences can be implemented without problem, having updates covered: A new route means change, an metrics distance of 15 meaning it has been deleted. All others stay unchanged.
Yes, that's a good idea.
