I'd like to see the issues fixed upstream, and the library removed from Python until it is satisfactory to the developers who will actually use it. To my knowledge, every developer (outside of Google) who has commented on the issue has indicated a preference for a different API.

That's not true - I'm outside of Google, and have not indicated such a preference.

You've indicated no preference either way, and have said:

"I personally have no plans for using this library, or any other IP address library"

I should think you would seek the opinion of those developers who actually do have plans to use an IP address library. As far as I can tell, every developer in that category, outside of Google, that has commented on this issue here or in python-dev has advocated a different API.
