To be honest I removed filtering just because I thought get_ips and
get_interfaces should return everything in the name of the completeness not
because I saw something wrong with them. For that reason I can add
filtering back to get_ips and start to filter loopback on get_interfaces.

My real question is what do you think having a get_interfaces method in the
API? I added that cause there was no way to get interface names from the
container (and get_ips accepts an interface parameter).
