It does look like it supports more IPv4 address formats than ipaddr/ipaddress,
so I'm not 100% sure it should be removed. It provides some utilities in
/usr/bin that might be used, so the lack of reverse-depends alone isn't really
demonstrative of if it should stay or go.
It does not support python3.
