No it didn't.

The patch restores support for interpreting 0.0.0.0/8 addresses as 
interface indexes, which was removed 5 months ago when in_mcast.c was 
originally introduced.  bms@ posted the patch for review before 
commiting it, but I can't recall a wider discussion taking place about 
that change.
