Nothing wrong with using xxx.0 or xxx::0 in the context of a host route

note that in times past (perhaps even now marked historical) there were

host addresses...

At least some windows platforms balked at .0 or .255 host addresses (even
if that address was 'off-net' from them).

maybe this is all history though :)
