Comment:

 It seems as though you can already achieve exactly the effect of the
 current patch with "{{{tub.location = 127.0.0.1}}}" -- or a similar effect
 with "{{{tub.location = unreachable.example.org:0}}}" as the documentation
 suggests.

 So on reflection, I'm also -1 on including this in v1.9.

 (The cleanup patch also has the improvement of not calling
 {{{iputil.get_local_addresses_async()}}} if its value is going to be
 discarded, but that's not urgent.)
