The "random change" in question was requested by someone posting under the
name of Stuart Cheshire on Wednesday, June 4, 2003 in the following
posting:

To quote you:

"This places us in the uncomfortable position where my Mac with a manual
routable address can send packets to my LL printer, but my LL printer
can't reply. I hope we all agree this is nonsense...

LL18 wasn't rejected because people argued against it; it was rejected
because it got forgotten and no one said anything about it at all.

I hope there's no disagreement about fixing this."

So which is it -- do you want this change made or not?
