The original reasons for this are historical, carried from BIRD 1 where 
show routewithout tableoption showed only the mastertable.

For BIRD 2, we extrapolated that to show at most one table per network 
type. These design choices are always some kind of looking for 
equilibrium – if you have 1K+ tables, you typically don'ŧ want to dump 
them all. OTOH, in your case, it would make better sense to show all of 
them. Where is the boundary?

While writing this and thinking about it, what if we made it 
configurable, to let you say for each table whether show by defaultor not?

Best regards,
Maria
