        Thanks for the review! I don't mind too about
removing rt6_nexthop. For me it is 51% against 49% to keep it
as it denotes the places that use nexthop and not gateway.
May be more opinions will help to decide because I don't know
if there are any plans to use similar techniques as done for IPv4.
