That's an added complication, and more code - which usually means that
more things can go wrong. In what circumstances would someone want
more than one interface, but not all interfaces?
You want it listening on 127.0.0.1 and 10.x.x.x, but not your public IP.
(yes I know, that's what firewalls are for...)
