    16## FAQ
    17
    18**Why's it no longer under `inet.af`?** Since that joke started, that
    19TLD is now under control of the Taliban. (Yes, we should've known
    20better.  We'd even previously scolded people for relying on
    21questionable ccTLDs. Whoops.)
    22
    23**Will this stuff make it into the standard library?** [Maybe](https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53236).
    24We'll see.
