Be aware that there is an effort to repurpose most of 127.0.0.0/8: https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-schoen-intarea-unicast...

It’s well-intentioned, but I honestly believe that it would lead to a plethora of security problems. Maybe I am missing something, but it strikes me as on the level of irresponsibility of handing out guardless chainsaws to kindergartners.

That is awful and I hope it will never pass. It would be a security nightmare. If passed, it should lead to a very wide review of all software using 127/8, and that will never be comprehensive...
