I didn't deny it - it is already implemented - there are system wide
defaults (gai.conf), process-wide defaults (PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS) and
you can do it per tcp_connect call by providing the address you want to
connect to.

/etc/hosts isn't DNS - no other system I know of mangles DNS and hosts
/etc/together. This could only be done as part of resolve_sockaddr.

And yes, both have been discussed, so there is no change to their status.
