The same applies to *all* link-local IPv6 addresses as well as link-local I=
Pv4
addresses.

The same applies for all alternative names for localhost:

For example on Fedora:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdoma=
in4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdoma=
in6

People even use FQDNs for their localhost address to test their stuff witho=
ut
network connection.
