Clay repeatedly pointed out that other people have objected to ipaddr and
been ignored.  It's really, really disappointing to see you continue to
ignore not only them, but the repeated attempts Clay has made to point
them out.

I don't have time to argue this issue, but I agree with essentially
everything Clay has said in this thread, and I commented about these
problems on the ticket months ago, before ipaddr was added.
