Curiouser and curiouser: I see the change from RemoteAddrFilter and 
RemoteAddrValve to RemoteCIDRFilter and RemoteCIDRValve in the changelog.

But what was the reason for the change? And was it announced (because if 
it was, I missed it entirely)?

We routinely add our IP addresses, because (1) IBM Midrange boxes don't 
have web browsers, and neither do cloud Linux boxes, and (2) even if 
they did, we don't have access to the physical boxes (other than our own 
on-site boxes).
