Hi,
I don't like AI_ADDRCONFIG. It's useless as specified, and making it
useful requires interpretations and deviations.
My understanding is that its goal is to solve a real world problem,
as in avoiding useless and potentially harmful DNS requests. So why not
make it do that, and just that?
I don't know when this changed, but the information below seems no
longer relevant.
ok?

I think I have already addressed all your points below, no need to
rehash endlessly. I'll let others chime in.
I'm still very interested in any real-world problems this might have caused.

Has this caused any real-world problems?
All the examples I've listed above are cases where programs that used no
hints will now fail. I think they're valid, real-world cases.

As somone who has paid out of his own pocket for ARIN access to
allocate v6 space for things, I can assure you I am not anti-v6.

A recently added -F option to the nc (netcat) command to pass a
connected file descriptor to stdout only works for the listen mode
when it passes the accepted descriptor.
The patch below makes -F universal. When given it makes nc to always
pass the socket to stdout rather than performing the copy
