no more changes, *please*. we have spent more than reasonable amount
of years to settle down to RFC2553/bis. and people are now using it.
I would quote words from sendmail people - "first gethostbyname2,
then gethostbyname3, then getipnodebyname, then you want us to
switch to getaddrinfo? how can we know that it will be the final one?"
I was so embarrassed when i heard this.
