Because it was easier to implement it this way. And we're safeguarding=20
ourselves: their DNS servers are buggy, so we won't even try talk to=20
them. Who knows what other bugs they have...

Also note that if any program in a network tries an AAAA lookup for a=20
buggy name, it could poison that name for everyone using the same=20
nameserver. There's nothing we can do about it. Luckily, it appears most=20
of those buggy DNS servers have been fixed.

If we just bow our heads down and comply with their brokenness, it's never=

going to be fixed.
