That's been proposed before, and rejected before, on the grounds that
since it doesn't support IPv6 its days are numbered. That consideration
isn't getting any weaker as time passes. If we accepted ip4r, then how
to someday make it support IPv6 would become the core project's problem;
and we have enough problems already.
