Package: emacs
Severity: wishlist
This is not new. Datagram sockets were unreliable on Windows and were
disabled in 2006, during the 22.1 pretest.
Kim: "Unfortunately, I just discovered (by reading the code) that
datagram support is severely broken on Windows -- it can send
datagrams, but not receive them reliably. So datagram support should
probably be disabled too."
Stefan: "I don't know of any elisp code that uses datagram sockets, so
it's not a big deal, is it?"
(To which I would add: well, I would've programmed an elisp RADIUS
server long ago if datagrams were available on Windows, but still...)

dns.el uses datagram sockets.

I suppose it was added after Stefan's comment (in 2006).

It was written in 2002, but perhaps it didn't land in Emacs until later.
