Re: [opensuse] What is the proper entry for /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1?

I have not seen any talk about doing away with it, but the shortage of IP space
would certainly apply pressure in that direction (reducing localhost to a /24 instead
of a /8).

Restricting the range of localhost would be a dumb move as 127.0.0.0/8 has
been in effect for far too long and is embedded in too many devices. Face
it, IPv6 is the only viable way to go.
