Of course.

While we are not bashing Dan (fan of Dan!), I would like to point out 
that 'routed' (svc:/network/routing/route:default) gets enabled by 
default.  Even though I explicitly disabled it (due to security 
concerns), it became re-enabled in my global zone and other zones, 
probably after system updates.  I have every unneeded service disabled 
in my Internet-facing zones but routed keeps coming back.

Not all networks require a RIP routing daemon.  It could cause harm.
