Comment (by duck):

 Brian's suggestion from comment:7 has been taken; if "tub.location = " (an
 empty string), then the local address discovery is replaced by just using
 127.0.0.1 as address; this replaces the previously suggested
 {{{anonymize_local_addresses = true}}} option.

 While an anonymous policy flag as suggested by ioerror in comment:2 and by
 Brian in comment:6 would be a good idea, I consider that material for
 another ticket.

 In addition to this an unit test has been written. Once #1301 is
 implemented the trial patch decorator can be used instead.
