[FROG] FRR deletes default route upon installation

[Donald Sharp]

That message is part of a stop operation from systemctl

    stop|0)
        # Stop all daemons at level '0' or 'stop'
        stop_watchfrr
        if [ "$dmn" != "watchfrr" ]; then
         [ -n "${dmn}" ] && eval "${dmn/-/_}=0"
          stop_prio 0 $dmn
        fi

        if [ -z "$dmn" -o "$dmn" = "zebra" ]; then
          echo "Removing all routes made by FRR."


The default route should come right back upon restart.  If you do not
want routes removed by FRR on shutdown feel free to remove this
section from the tool
