With the BPG routed system, the Yes thats correct. Why do you think an unreliable gateway is the proper way to build a network? If that subnet needs failover, then add failover. This is a volunteer effort, with No, it's a volunteer effort that's broken, because everyone wants to over-engineer some new unduly-complicated idea into a very uncomplicated system that actually works REALLY WELL EVERYWHERE else.. This mesh crap really needs to be binned, or at the very least not try and do anything important over it, such as route an entire /16. If you want to connect a /24 with it to make a neat local play toy then go for it, but using it as an enterprise routing tool is absurd at the very least, and at it's WORST, it's very likely to just completely stop anyone from trying to build anything new over it because it's connectivity and throughput sucks. It's just a subnet for gods sake - stop playing with it and route the shit already, then we might actually get to DO SOMETHING over it. Puhleeease..
