localhost entries missing on OS X
See original GitHub issueOn OS X, the localhost definition at the top of /etc/hosts is a bit more verbose:
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
In the generated hosts file, the broadcasthost (see this) and the second IPv6 are missing:
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

This is fixed in commit ab12924 on Feb 19 2016.
Closing.
See my comment on #87, I believe the correct approach is to leave the default OS config untouched, and only expand it further. If anything is to be changed leave it to the local admin; a tool shouldn’t be opinionated and change system configuration beyond its scope (which in this case is malware/ad blocking, and those entries above have zero to do with that).
