Can you make it just unconfigured instead?  I really am strongly
pressing the point that we should never ever commit rfc1918 addresses
to the repository.

Some address in 192.168/16 conflicted with your network,
some address in 10/8 conflicts with my network, and probably others.

If you do anything stick a 169.254 on it.  That is after all what
link locals are for.
