As I mentioned, I looked through the archives before starting this 
thread. Specifically, I looked for mentions of multicast and followed 
the threads, but I didn't find a concrete resolution. Maybe I missed 
something.

I understand the theoretical argument. However, the practical 
implication is that a widely deployed discovery mechanism on at least 
one very population hardware platform is hamstrung without jumping 
through pretty significant accounting hoops.

Given the other responses to this thread, it sounds like there is 
interest in an opt-in feature but that a pull request would likely not 
be accepted. Have I misunderstood?
