Hm. It's not clear what the actual user impact of this is?
Reading from the original description, it seems that if a user uses an
invalid label to set one address and *also* uses a valid label to set
another address *then* tools can be confused?
“Our parser is actually more lenient than the manpage states” on its own
is definitely not SRU-worthy, but if it breaks other tools then maybe?
On the other hand, from the bug it looks like if you *don't* mix valid
and invalid labels then everything actually works? So this would
potentially be breaking currently working setups?
I think we need more information before determining whether this should
be accepted as an SRU.
