It's not that simple though. The ipv6 stack will propably not allow

scoped to any other interface. After all link local means exactly
this.
So if you have your postgres listening on ::1 you will not be
able to connect from your fe80::dead:beef%fxp0 address.
But if you tell it to listen to *, won't it bind to everything in sight?
yes.
In particular we know that this thread started because someone had a
connection through a scoped address, so one way or another it's possible.
thats propably exactly how it happened. I agree now that a workaround
is needed until the inet types supports scoped addresses.
