The problem is that this issue keeps repeating, particularly in (shall we say) 
non-technical venues. In a private message I semi-seriously suggested someone 
should write an RFC that deprecates classes other than IN.  However, I'm 
beginning to think this might not be that bad of an idea -- at least there 
would be a document that the non-technical folks who keep raising the issue 
could be pointed at...
