All started with a regression I experienced when using `ssh` to connect to a literal IPv6 link-local address caused by a Fedora patch to glibc. I wanted to know more about the original problem they were trying to solve and after some testing and source reading I found numerous bugs and limitations in the glibc network name resolution stack.

The name collides with NetBSD's continuation of the libbind (BIND 8) 
stub resolver:

Considering the overlap in functionality, I don't think if the 
additional "e" is sufficient disambiguation.
