    Absolutely, some smart new routing rules could take over routes you don’t want them to.

    I’d, and many others, would recommend unit tests for your routes in both directions. That is, verify the correct url will go to the expected action and your url creation gives the urls you want.

    For a head start have a look at the mvcontrib test helpers for routes.
