I've been asked by almost all the active developers on FFmpeg at this
point to push this while we debate the error message, gateway list / solution,
nuking, etc.

I quintuple checked on IRC it was OK for me to push in the meantime. Logs are
there.

Many distros/packagers have already backported this patch to 5.1 themselves,
as they really (shockingly) do not want a default gateway.

So: Pushed.

Let us continue the discusion on the other aspects of this topic.

(Please do not send me hate mail or harassment. I really did check.)
