The same applies to *all* link-local IPv6 addresses as well as link-local IPv4
addresses.

The same applies for all alternative names for localhost:

For example on Fedora:

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

People even use FQDNs for their localhost address to test their stuff without
network connection.
