State-Changed-Why: 
As far as I recall this is by design.  A dig in the mail-archives
will probably show the discussion, I seem to recall some traditionalist
opposition (probably fielded by Garrett) against the change but the
consensus nontheless being that in FreeBSD at least IP numbers
are #.#.#.# all the time.
