This is correct, Bug 33008 is about two applications using the same
port and binding to two different interfaces.  This can be solved with
a SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_CBPF rule, but it is complicated.

This is correct, though the solution is "the same".  The SO_REUSEADDR
behavior is easier to implement though, it just involves applying a
SO_ATTACH_REUSEPORT_CBPF rule that always returns zero (zero is
oldest).
