No, I knew that - my point was that the changes in the PEP 3144 branch
are backwards incompatible with the existing ipaddr API (mainly due to
the always-strict Network objects, with the permissive behaviour moved
out to the separate Interface objects, but also due to the renamed
factory functions), so it may be easier to just give the 3144 version
of the module a different name.

Cheers,
Nick.
