Subject: Re: [jira] Created: (FELIX-826) Enable the remote shell to bind to
 an IP and make 127.0.0.1 the default

Hi all,

In my personal opinion, although backward compatibility is important in 
this case I would do it for two main reasons:
1) In most cases this will be the desired behaviour.
2) In the cases where it is not, it still does not break the 
application, but only the administration of the application, so the 
impact of the change is not very big. Also the change is pretty easy to 
detect and if this is documented on the webpage very fast to correct.


Regards

Peter
