Could you send text, please?  I get the impression that you expect
something very bad to happen if clients and servers are sloppy about
what they label EAI, but I personally don't understand what the
badness is.

We abandoned all the complicated downgrade stuff, so I think everyone
understands that whenever you send a message with the EAI flag set,
there's some chance it won't be delivered unless you happen to know
that there's an EAI path to all the recipients.
