In contrast I have worked on all the corner cases in 15 years to
make it work.  Maybe not the best solution, but it works.  I fear
that at our customers somethig will break if we change behavior
just because we think it looks better.

In this particular case I think using the first addreess as source
address is wrong.  IPv4 source address selection should be done
with a route lookup.  Basically what in_pcbselsrc() does.  And using
the route interface address seems reasonable to me.
