Would it be better if we changed that to a run time decision rather than 
build time?

I'm assuming that all the input cases will take either format.

With the decision at build time, a distro has to make a choice.  If they use 
the default as you expect, then they screw all their users who do have their 
own scripts.  Does anybody even know how big that set is?  It's probably 
small, but they are also the ones we want to switch to using our code.

I've never understood the IPv4 logic in that area.  It might make a good 
story for a blog.
