Comment (by s7r):

 teor I'm not in any way questioning your opinion and expertise in
 implementing things, but can you please revise the keywords of this ticket
 and confirm if it's really needs-proposal?

 I mean, we basically want to fix a misbehaving thing. Some thing that we
 say in the manual should be is not enforced at start-up, that's all. And
 as per my comment above, I don't think this should be up for debate.
 There's not enough data to build a proposal or to analyze it. I mean, how
 is it useful to have only an IPv4 address but advertise two sockets and
 use strange ways to make them both reachable, when IPv6 was brought to
 enforce end-to-end connectivity and eliminate the need for unnecessary
 evils like NAT.
