Can anyone come up with a rationale for this?

Exim doesn't, that I recall, provide anything to let you work from an interface
name to an IP address, etc. So what's the point of being able to get a list of
the system interfaces?

If someone can come up with a use case and explain what would be done with it,
then it seems like a firly small amount of work, as Exim already has the
portable code to get a list of interfaces. But without that, I'm strongly
inclined to mark as WONTFIX.
