But seriously, there's an implication in this thread that there will be
work happening to give stuff a path to ask for an open port.  Where can we
follow along with that effort? Starting with, say, how I might change
`nikola runserver` or `django-admin runserver` to ask for the port, and
ending with the resulting UI that asks me for approval?

The functionality for a program to ask for an open port already
exists.  It is called bind(2)

yes, but the problem is that you won't forbid a program to listen on a port even if it is designed to listen on 0.0.0.0 instead 127.0.0.1 *but* you want and need to restrict from where it is accessable

if you disallow the bind-call it fails

whenever i play around with a network-aware software the first step is test it#s behavior on localhost and later decide if i want to have it reachable over the netwok and over wich network
