Is there actually a useful use case working in v10 and broken by your
proposed patch? I can't think of any, and even if there is one it's
likely no one is aware of it as the docs were not updated. Considering
this could also be painted as a security issue (people generally don't
connect from servers to random machines, but still ...), I'd vote for
pushing this to v10.
