Comment (by teor):

 Replying to [comment:14 yawning]:
 > These seem ok.  I'd suggest allowing localhost to also be `[::1]` for
 the far future.

 See #11360.

 (I've also split off #17948 for the hidden service IPv4/IPv6 localhost
 changes, as it's in a different area of the code, and not security
 related.)

 > I'm vaguely inclined to also add an extra config option which needs to
 be enabled to allow non-localhost/`AF_UNIX` ControlPort, because it really
 is that bad of an idea, but that may be overly hand-holding.

 Another ticket?
