Of course that would be nice, but it's not an answer to my question.

Also, more than two years ago I did write code to solve the IPv4/IPv6
truncation issue. However, you (kinda) rejected it with a vague
comment and refused to tell me in what way it should be improved. I'd
rather not work on other bugs if there's a chance the work gets
ignored again.
Finally, last month, the IPv4 part of the bug got fixed.

Isn't that the same plan as two years ago?
