for the record before anybody starts another offlist discussion :)
looks OK, but AFAICT the bridged mode we use is not affected by this,
the NAT (settable through CLI only) may be, but not to sure.

It really would help to reason why we need this, what is affected and how
one can check if it actual helped against an issue - the latter part is often
non-trivial, be it because an issue is theoretical or no reproducer is
available and not easy to think of oneself.

That said, the fmt sanitizing looks OK and won't hurt, so taking this in
is OK nonetheless, IMO
