Yes, due to backward compatibility constraints, the behavior is immutable. You might be able to argue for another method, say all_hosts(), or something. Or maybe even a optional parameter to hosts() that defaults to the existing behavior, but if provided, lets you select a new behavior. What I would not support is a change to hosts() (or a new method) that treats a /32 network specially.
