(Get the code!)
That route tells it to just send packets for any IP directly out the interface, this is usefull because in a LAN using zeroconf LL IPs (as avahi-autoipd), only hosts without another non-LL ip should have an LL ip.
So without a default (last resort) route out the interface, if you only had an LL ip you would not be able to communicate with other hosts that didn't have an LL ip.
