 Replying to [comment:1 smcv]:
 > The private addresses are going away soon too - we only have them
 because some activities (Read) haven't been ported to use Tubes for
 collaboration yet. The only reason they're visible in the dev console is
 that it's meant to give a complete picture of what the PS is thinking, so
 it should expose all information the PS knows about.

 > The XO might not *have* a public IP, might not be usefully reachable at
 its public IP, (e.g. when behind NAT), and so on, so this is not generally
 useful information for PS to provide.

 The public IP can provide an approximate physical location. This is
 somewhat useful. (guess at timezone, weather, etc.) It is also useful for
 dealing with abuse.

 Depending on the levels of NAT in use, the private IP can also be used to
 deal with abuse situations. If the public IPs are identical and there is
 only 1 level of NAT, you know the culprit.
