No.  I used the loopback example only to show you what's sitting at the 
end of port 631.

I don't know of a reason, but I'm not really plugged in to the internal 
workings of Fedora development and release management.  I'm just a 
grunt.  Happily, however, I've found this list is from time to time 
visited by Fedora intelligentsia, one of whom might step in and reveal 
all in the instant matter.
