It seems you might have said "it isn't" but it was not clear. * What else Jesse actually said: > I'd love us not to ship two implementations of the same functionality > if we can get away with it. You didn't comment on my suggestion that > we turn ::INET into a wrapper around ::IP. Is that a plausible path > forward? Your reply to that seemed to be "I'll think about it." I don't see any subsequent work. * Nick asked: > To which I'd add, does it work on VMS? VOS? Does NetWare do IPv6? Your answer here was, "If the OS does what various standards say, yes."
