Upstreams #1 FAQ is because they have some stupid logic in place to
derive the "cookie domain" from the hostname.

This should either be made a proper configuration variable, or a logic
that can handle blogs reachable via different domain names (and
hostnames!) properly should be put into place...

Not crappy code like this (b2evolution/conf/_advanced.php):
$cookie_domain = ($basehost == 'localhost') ? '' : '.'. $basehost;

Which is totally unneccessary crap code, that hoses up local network
installations.
Just using the empty string or basehost directly works way better.

Their FAQ also displays a certain ignorance about the whole issue,
especially the solution "just use 'localhost' if you do a local test
installation" - and what if I have more than one computer locally, and
my DSL router sets up some broken pseudo-DNS for them?
