Ulrich doesn't want to tell anyone why he made it, apprently. :( I think (i) is unsustainable in longer term, But for 10.3 it should be doable.
and I guess (iv) is just the way to go long term - I haven't found in any RFCs or specs a requirement for unique results from getaddrinfo(). I'm just not completely comfortable with going (iv) for 10.3 already, on the other hand we've apparently seen no further breakages except of openldap testsuite and it's not probable that we would see more if we'd postpone this as post-10.3. As the problem only appears when explictly listening to the "localhost" interface it might also be that no one else tested this for other application on 10.3 yet.
So in the end I think openldap testsuite should just get fixed. It's not the testsuite that has this problem the testsuite just triggers it. If it needs to be fixed anywhere then that must be inside the server code. But I am very uncomfortable of changing the respective OpenLDAP code this late in the 10.3 timeframe.
