This is wrong. PEP 3144 was not pronounced upon, so ipaddr is not just
waiting for someone to commit it; it's waiting on consensus and
pronouncement.
PEP 3144 wasn't pronounced upon because there were significant
disagreements about the design of the API proposed in the PEP. As it
stands, I believe the authorship of ipaddr either decided that they were
not going to compromise their module or lost interest.
