Not only useful, but necessary. It seems there are few people on this list who understand IP well enough to realize how distorted ipaddr actually is.
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. Regards Antoine.
