I specifically thought "manipulating IP addresses is a frequent task, and probably everybody's requirements will be different. So starting with this library is as good as starting with any other - we can add use cases as we go". I was in favor of ipaddr because his author offered to maintain it. I then didn't have the time to review it myself, and was happy that others picked it up.
