According to RFC 6724, section 3.2:
IPv4 addresses are assigned scopes as follows. IPv4 auto-
configuration addresses [RFC3927], which have the prefix 169.254/16,
are assigned link-local scope. IPv4 loopback addresses (Section
4.2.2.11 of [RFC1812]), which have the prefix 127/8, are assigned
link-local scope (analogously to the treatment of the IPv6 loopback
address (Section 4 of [RFC4007])). Other IPv4 addresses (including
IPv4 private addresses [RFC1918] and Shared Address Space addresses
[RFC6598]) are assigned global scope.
I double-checked each of those classes of addresses and with this patch
we come into compliance with RFC 6724.
I think you should install this patch.
