Silence is not assent.

ipaddr looks like a reasonable library from here, but AFAIK it's not
widely used outside of google.  I don't know if it's reasonable to
want some amount public usage before a brand-new API goes into the
standard library, but such use is more likely to uncover API flaws or
quirks than a PEP.
