The reason I didn't change anything was the same as Dave's reply, I
thought it must have been done on purpose. It probably was but I can't
spot any reason now either.

Also, IPv6 is doing just fine with using '0' as its first devconf id.

I have no objects to changing this at all but we don't gain much either.
