I think the main thing folks might miss is that a lot of people really
want all of this on a single address--while having multiple addresses
concurrent on a single machine is acceptable for larger machines,
specifically servers, having multiples on a single host as a general
rule hasn't met with much in the way of acceptability for the vast
majority of hosts.

      Most people really don't care what address a machine has.
      They basically only ever use it as a client machine. You
      don't need fixed addresses for these machines.  You just
      need a address that can reach the servers you want to
      talk to.

I disagree--people don't care what the specific address is, but they
have specific requirements about the number and types of addresses on
those machines, even down to the individual host.

We often conflate these two types of requirements.
