it doesn't ignore it, it only listens on the IP addresses you've
explicitly specified, with the exception of link-local address (so
Bonjour's type service works).

Myth has never bound to all IP addresses (e.g. 0.0.0.0)
This has always been the case, even when myth was an IPv4 only application

in the setup, you can either define an IP address or a hostname. If a
hostname, that IP address will be resolved. Hostname resolution in
setup on the other hand is something new.
