Description
Currently, it's possible to add static routes in two ways. By old static routes interface or by the brand new multigateway which takes into account the reachability from a gateway and much more.
I suggest to deprecate static routes and add a migration script to set all static routes by adding gateways and multigateway rules.

Yes but if you do this and you want to be able to access a route over the vpn that is on the external side of your connection then it will not work. Many real world vpn devices allow you to set the new default gateway to be the endpoint of the vpn tunnel as long as the vpn tunnel is up.
The Static Routes option needs to stay.
Here is an example,
