--- Comment #6 from paul vixie <[email protected]> ---
It has always been the case that if you bind to inaddr_any your socket will be
available on all host interface addresses, and if you connect or sendto
inaddr_any you'll reach some socket bound to some host interface address. In
that sense yes this will be a breaking change. However, it's "good trouble" and
we should follow openbsd's lead on the matter.
