  - There was a	request	to add types for loopback addresses
    (127.0.0.0/8 and ::1/128).

  - This is related to an effort to define a YANG module for MPLS LSP
    Ping (RFC 8029) but the details are unclear, i.e., what is exactly
    needed and how such a type will be used and whether there is a
    common need for types for loopback addresses.

  - Proposal: do not add such types at this point in time
