This is not wishlist. This is a bug. It is absolutely invalid and wrong to just get onto a network and use an address that was not either given to you manually by the network administrator or obtained through some autoconfiguration tool such as DHCP. Therefore, using an IP address after it's lease has expired is simply wrong, and very well likely a network policy violation. In a corporate environment this BUG could be exposing network users to the risk of being sanctioned by their IT and security departments for violating policies.
