Not having myself enough knowledge about IP routing and administration (although
I did happen to dissect BGP and IS-IS packets in an earlier life), I'm, however,
inclined to trust Jean-Paul's word when it comes to network programming. IMHO,
we should delay ipaddr's official inclusion in the stdlib until the conceptual
issues are solved.
