That seems so onerous that I think few people will do it, and not regularly, resulting in the tests breaking and nobody noticing. Reconfiguring the loopback interface like that requires root privilege, and won't survive a reboot, and doing it in the system configuration will require hackery specific to the particular flavor of Linux you're running, and probably other hackery on non-Linux systems (never mind Windows).
