 I'd say it's less about whether we as developers have those strong 
 feelings, and more about whether our upstreams' opinions mean that tools 
 make assumptions that would be broken by doing that; and also whether 
 our users are going to get confusing/misleading results from e.g. tools 
 like netstat or `ss -r` as a result, like seeing a MTA listening on 
 apollo.example.com:smtp and it not being obvious that what it means is 
 127.0.0.1:smtp.
