This proposal assumes that only trusted users have access to the
loopback address. While this is true for the majority of Tomcat
installations there are use cases where this is not the case. Granted
those use cases (e.g. shared hosting) usually have better solutions
(e.g. per user, isolated containers) where only trusted users have
access but not everyone uses them.
