well, I am still troubled, because I simply do not understand why the lo was not present before and now it appeared. I am also having problems with my network setup. The usecase of lo in my PC is not something I would expect to request the presence of an lo. But since another instance I have of TW also shows now a lo interface, I think this was an update that made it appear. I am just not understanding to what purpose.
AFAICT, networkmanager was enhanced to also manage the loopback interface (for instance adding addresses to it), that's really all. Your systems have _always_ had a loopback interface, but networkmanager didn't "support" it. Now it does. Yeap, this is the answer to my question, since Networkmanager did suddenly show it (I know of course about loopback but I did not recall any change that could have induced a change in network manager applets behavior.
Thank you, this is hence the reason for the "miracle"
