From: "matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto) via ruby-core" Date: 2026-06-11T09:45:28+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:125698] [Ruby Feature#17944] Remove Socket.gethostbyaddr and Socket.gethostbyname Issue #17944 has been updated by matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto). It didn't seem like anyone was using them, and since they weren't good API to begin with (they had Perl-like design), I felt it was okay to remove them.
