What regression do you mean? I have read the whole discussion
thoroughly. You only say in one message that deleting ::1 would
propagate to routing daemons. And Eric correctly stated that
people couldn't hit this, because  deleting ::1 would break
things on its own.

Is there a real problem with Eric's fix?
