There is a non-development use case here, which is being able to accept the IP range for a subnet used in an EC2 VPC (used by load balancers for health checks). Sure, I could iterate through all the potential IPs and add them, divine a way <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/166506/finding-local-ip-addresses-using-pythons-stdlib> to (maybe) discover it via the socket module, or make an HTTP request to retrieve it from the EC2 meta data API, but this seems like another time when being concise and explicit about the allowed IPs/subnets (without requiring a network call from settings.py) would be helpful. Using the established convention of subnets rather than wildcards would be preferred, IMHO.
