            Bug ID: 20629
           Summary: libresolv: Remove support for bitstring labels
                    (RES_USEBSTRING)
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.24
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: network
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fweimer at redhat dot com
  Target Milestone: ---
             Flags: security-

Bitstring labels and extended label types never worked on the public Internet,
so they were removed again from most DNS implementations.  There is no reason
to keep the incomplete implementation in libresolv/nss_dns.
