Of course, the other side of that argument is that D'Arcy's fix is a
very low-risk affair for the people who won't be using the inet types.
For the people who will be using them, it seems rather critical.
I think shipping the release without this fix is a mistake.
It sounds like D'Arcy could use a little advice/help from someone who
knows about proper handling of null inputs to functions and operators
(not me...). But if someone like that will step up to the plate, I
don't see why we can't squeeze in a solid fix.
