        The WAN interface is automatically excluded from Avahi because Avahi should not be run on a WAN.

        Though these days with any interface being capable of acting in any role that doesn't make as much sense as it did in the past, it's primarily an anti-foot-shooting measure to make sure someone isn't exposing private data on a public link.

            Should probably edit the Interface Action description to remove confusion.
