There's a practical use case that needs to know a couple of addresses:

The local IP on the network. I have my doubts here (privacy-wise), but in some circumstances this can be used as a proxy for the gateway load.
The gateway IP (from the pushed routes the gateway sends us). I'd like to expose this so that probes can then send ICMP pings to the gateway (so that we can estimate the delta to other targets).
