The current version of the PEP and reference implementation do not mention or deal with IPv4 classful addressing (A, B, C, D and E). It would be good to know if any of this (admittedly older yet no less important) functionality is going to be supported. If the library is to concentrate solely on classless addressing (i.e. CIDR) please can this be stated in future revisions of the PEP.

Classful addressing was deprecated more than 15 years ago!

Quoting RFC 4632: "With the full deployment of CIDR on the Internet, such scenarios are no longer operationally relevant."
