--- Comment #1 from Carlos O'Donell <carlos_odonell at mentor dot com> 2012-08-03 04:03:51 UTC ---
My understanding is that because the default uses AF_UNSPEC that the caller
accepts *any* address family thus AI_V4MAPPED is not useless because AF_UNSPEC
can be treated as anything including AF_INET6.

Does that clarify why we would set AI_V4MAPPED in the default?
