Actually, I did not answer your question. It will not break the setup
for those users you describe, because this was already broken for them
and all users who have link-local addresses, whether or not if they have
other addresses. After my change, it will fix the setup for those who
have IPV4 or IPV6 global or unique-local addresses. It will just not fix
it for somebody who only has a link-local address.
