I think the bug Alan mentioned is just a typo by Mac porting but not
because of using getnameinfo and getaddrinfo.
The bug I referenced stemmed from the Mac port inadvertently changing
the code to use getnameinfo in 7u4. This resulted in a behavioral change
in some environments that meant the FQDN was returned for cases where it
didn't previously. It's not technically a bug, but it was a behavior
change that caused at least one application to break. There was
discussion on this list at the time (need to check archives for
April/May/June 2012 timeframe).
Anyway, I'm not saying the change is inappropriate for 7u, it's just
that the impact needs to be understood. This means going through each of
the impacted platforms and the possible configurations where changes
might be observed by applications.
