Not exactly. According to rtentry(9):

           RTF_PINNED         Indicates that this route is immutable to a
                              routing protocol.

That is, routing daemons should not be allowed to modify such route
but /sbin/route is system administrator's tool, not routing protocol one.

It should be able to remove any route that it could before "pinned" changes. Hence, this commit.
