Description

In some circumstances, IPs can be added/removed from an interface in such ways that an interface's primary IP is no longer the first IP in ifconfig output. This leads to issues as described in #3811 and #2495 for instance.

Ermal's long since fixed most of these possibilities by ensuring consistency in IP change/add/remove. There are circumstances where this fails catastrophically though.

assigning to myself for further testing and analysis. Ermal, if you can add thoughts here it'd be appreciated.
